Bears Ears Custom Day Trip - Out ;guide, Eli, did a great job of combining hikes and sightseeing through Bears Ears as part of a full day trip rather than the usual half day. We ended up in areas we couldn't imagine. Eli was very helpful assisting we geezers at tricky parts of the hikes. A very enjoyable lunch as well as plenty of water was provided. Highly Recommended.

Great tour with Eli - I was lucky enough to go out by myself with Eli, who took extra time on the half day River House and Kachina Panel 4x4 tour to explain the meaning and purpose behind the ruins, artifacts and rock art, as well as Ancestral Puebloan culture and modern life in the Four Corners. He was patient and an excellent driver. You will be well-rewarded with Eli as your guide.

Great tour of ruins and rock art - We took the half-day tour of River House and nearby rock art with Eli, and enjoyed it a lot. He was a fun UTV driver, getting us down the bumps and challenges of Comb Wash expeditiously. And he was personable and knowledgeable in showing us the remnants of the Ancient Puebloans, explaining what is known and not making up what is not known. He was a fine guide to spend a morning with.

Bears Ears - The wild expeditions tour was a great way to become acquainted with bears ears. The driver, Eli was very knowledgeable about the area and history. We went to places that we could never have gone on our own and saw ruins of old buildings and such. We highly recommend this tour.

Bears Ears - Kachina Panel, River House Ruins, and Moon House Ruins - Levi Nells of Bluff’s Wild Expeditions is an expert guide who provided outstanding experiences to Moon House Ruins, the Kachina petroglyph panels, and River House Ruins. Travel to these sites is along rough and rocky roads and requires a 4WD or ATV. River House Ruins and the Kachina petroglyph panels can also be reached by kayak or rafting trips organized by Wild Expeditions. These sites are spectacular and well-worth a visit when in Bears Ears National Monument. Levi is a delightful and personable guy, and is knowledgeable about the Bears Ears region’s histories, peoples, cultures and art forms, as well as local flora and fauna. Importantly, he exercised great care in helping me and my husband negotiate several steep area along the trail to Moon House Ruins. Levi is very fit and adept at hiking all terrains, rock climbing, water rafting, and any outdoor adventures you can imagine. Wild Expeditions also works with clients to create custom tours to suit your interests. The expertise of Levi Nell’s really made our trip to Bears Ears most memorable. He is highly recommended, as is Wild Expeditions.

River House Tour - Amazing experience - We were on the River House half day UTV tour. Brock, our guide was excellent - personable, informative and flexible. The scenery was stunning and the UTV ride great fun. I would highly recommend a Wild Expeditions tour. We wished we had longer to also do the sunset tour or a full day in the river. My only niggle was that the price quoted on the phone was higher than advertised online and also the duration of the trip shorter (3hrs and not 4). However, it was worth every penny for an unforgettable morning.
