Our guide Trevis was very knowledgeable about the prehistoric desert landscape and apache tribes that once called the sanoran desert home. He kept things very interesting and fun for our group, not an easy task with two teen boys! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to know more about the desert while riding through the rugged landscape. Be sure to ask for Trevis too! Thumbs up all around!

We had Trevis and he did a great job showing us all the cool plants and animals and a lot of history on the area while still keeping things fun.
