Excellent Experience - Brandon was excellent. My husband and I joined 4 others for this tour. Everyone brought phones, not cameras. Brandon was able to assist all with settings on different phones. I took some amazing photos with my cellphone. A fabulous experience!

Book it! - Brandon was great at teaching us about our cameras. We had an iPhone and a canon and learned how to shoot for night photography. Unfortunately the weather was very cloudy so we only stayed for half the time. We were fairly reimbursed even though the clouds were out of our control! When we go back to Moab we will definitely rebook and hope for a clear night!!

Great experience - Bring a winter hat, you never know what conditions you will have, our outing was quite windy and a hat would have been nice.

Bring the gear requested,... - Bring the gear requested, and enjoy working as a team. The terrain during the evening can be deceiving. So, working as a team is helpful.
