Wonderful tour and service!

Shawn did a wonderful job giving my son and I a tour around the outskirts of the Wasatch mountains. There was some bad weather forecasted for our trip and Shawn made some slight changes yet still provided us a beautiful trip we will not forget. It seemed like we were given a tour from a friend so we felt completely comfortable. Highly recommend!!

If you are looking for a unique experience with a great guide, this is it! What an amazing experience with Shawn! He knew so much about the area, took us to see beautiful locations and even stopped at a local drink place so we could try an authentic SLC dirty soda. We have a great time and would definitely recommend it to anyone.
