Best Jeep tour ever. - My grandson and I were on this trip together, and this was the most enjoyable time. Our guide Cat, Cathryn made the whole experience wonderful. There wasn’t one dull moment and she is so knowledgeable that I feel like we had a lot of added information beyond just the scenery. Would gladly take this tour again on our return someday. Be aware of this terrain. The road is naturally very bumpy so add that to your decision, but otherwise don’t hesitate to take this adventure

Great tour with Jay - To begin with let me say that Jay was amazing guide and a real gentleman. He has been doing this stuff for 13 years and it shows. He knows every turn and bump (many) in the road. Beautiful wild flowers and incredible scenery. Highly recommend it.

The Jeep Tour You Need To Do - We did the half day Jeep tour with our tour guide Art. His knowledge of local history and geography was impressive! At the summit he walked my 7 year old son and I up to an abandoned mine and told us all about it. He even brought a hammer to split some rocks open to see if we might strike it rich with some silver or gold, no luck though. We did walk away with some cool pieces of onyx and mica. We also walked away with great memories from a trip we will never forget!!

Fun Jeep Tour! - Mild to Wild half day jeep tour was such a great experience!! Myles was our guide and he was great!! Very knowledgeable about the area, landmarks, plants/flowers and wildlife, he was able to answer any questions anyone in our group had. He offered to take pictures for e and my family, which just made the experience even better. He even took great care of me when I felt motion sick in the back of the jeep going back down the mountain. He was very caring and attentive. Overall a great experience and would book again!
