Visit to Moonscape Overlook - Excellent way to spend 3 hours. Just the two of us with a knowledgeable, friendly driver/guide. Moonscape is an unbelievable panorama.

great tour to an incredibly beautiful landscape - I very much enjoyed my tour with Jenny. She was very kind and so knowledgeable. I learned so much from her and she also gave me great tips for more hikes. I very much enjoyed talking to her. Apart from that, the tour was also wonderful. The landscape was breathtakingly beautiful and I had lots of time to enjoy and take pictures. Thank you! When I am back in Utah I would love to book another tour.

Beyond imagining! - Owner, Mel, drove us in his air conditioned 4 wheel drive Land Rover! Very comfy with lots of snacks and bottled water. You will see landscapes here that you will probably never see anywhere else. Totally "otherwordly" which led to lots of great conversation in the car!! Mel, is amazingly knowledgeable about this area - its history and geology. We are so glad we took advantage of this amazing opportunity and look forward to coming back to take their other tours - especially the Dark Sky Night tour.

Fantastic Experience - Mel is fantastic! Personable, professional, and completely capable, he made my wife and I feel entirely confident in the safety of our experience and in his background and knowledge. I would recommend Meridian to anybody visiting the area that wants a guide to help them get to the good stuff in this area.

Moonscape overlook - What an amazing experience with Meridian! We did the Moonscape Overlook tour, Long Dong Silver, and Blue Bentonite Hills. Incredible! It felt like we were visiting a different planet.

great interesting experience not to miss on way to the Moomscape overlook - This was a great experience. its easy to see from the highway and to get there. We checked it out on route to the Moonscape overlook experience which is another story. there is a small parking lot to your left where people were camping to either catch a certain sun shadow or the night sky. high clearance vehicle is best but you could get here in a SUV if it has not been raining. There is info signs there that tells you about it. We did not drive in to get closer just checked it out from the road

Fantastic Experience! - We had an amazing time with Jen touring Moonscape Landing, Factory Butte, and Capitol Reef National Park. Jen was super friendly and knowledgeable and she made everything so fun and exciting. She was extremely helpful and made sure we were comfortable and safe and that we had sure footing any time we got out of the jeep. It was cool seeing the park along with the other landmarks and it was interesting learning about the history behind it all. We even got a few bonus features. We would definitely take another tour with Jen.

Wonderful Tour! - Jenny was awesome. She was super kind, and very knowledgeable about the region, the history of the rock formations, why certain buttes are famous and she graciously took banding photos of us with the otherworldly backgrounds. We truly enjoyed our time with her! Thank you Jenny and keep up the great work!
