It was a good trip and the area is beautiful and well worth seeing. If I had one complaint it was that it was a long day and having to climb in and out of the van was a bit much as the day went on.
Except for the weather, the trip was wonderful. My trip guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and a good driver, and, of course, the landscape was spectacular.
Our tour of the Apache Trail was interesting. We saw some beautiful country. The Montezuma Castle was fantastic. However, our tour was greatly diminished by the complete failure of the sound system on the bus. Our guide was frustrated by his inability to share information with us as he drove. He did well at the stops we made but the experience definitely left us wanting more.
