Shawn picked us up promptly at our condo as we stood in shock at how big the jeep was. He told the boys-ages 6 + 11, that the tires were 36" high, almost taller than the 6 yr. old. We took a picture of a clean jeep and away we went. Right from the start Shawn was able to make a connection with each of the boys on their level. They were so excited to go out on our way and had tons of questions and Shawn eagerly answered each one. He even found time between the questions to give us some fun facts about the areas that we were driving into. As we got to the beginning of the trail, Shawn gave us our safety talk and then went to tell us how he had to take air out of the tires and change over the suspension. The boys jumped in and the 3 of them got the jeep ready for our adventure. As we started out, Shawn showed them how to open/close the windows and asked if they wanted to open the moon roof. They jumped at the idea until we went through the first clear water puddle, and they saw how much it splashed all over the jeep. By the time we got to the mud puddles, the boys were having so much fun that the one time they forgot to put up the window and my sister and I got some mud on us. Well, that was just the funniest thing they ever saw and then we decided to change seats and they made sure the windows were closed at every mud puddle. The laughs and giggles that came out of the boys and the knowledge and friendliness of Shawn made this trip to remember and talk about for years to come. If you have a chance to go out on any of the tours-GO! you'll have a great time. You can drive yourself - with Shawn in the passenger seat to guide you along the trail or you can sit back and let him do all the driving and enjoy the view of the mountains, valley and watch out for all the wild animals that you may see on the trip. The boys actually found a baby bear paw print in the fresh mud when it was time to put the air back into the tires and put suspension back into street mode to go back down the mountain and back civilization. Great time! Will do again next time we are back in the area.

Thank you so much for the fantastic review, and your time in sharing your experience. It was a pleasure and privilege to get to know you and your family! We had a great time and were happy to show you some of our favorite "muddy" places. The boys were the highlight of the trip! They were intelligent, respectful, and easy to connect with! We are stoked that everyone had a great experience! We hope to see you again!
