Awesome Off The Road Jeep Adventure
This trip was an exciting experience of off the road Jeep as well as climbing a fire tower, and camaraderie around the campfire with other guests. Our guide Dan, was absolutely awesome. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the natural habitat. He had a great sense of humor and really made the tour exciting and informative. He also made us feel comfortable and safe about the bumpy Jeep aspect of the tour. We give him a 10 star review. 😊

Amazing views, thrilling rides, excellent staff
The check in process was quick and easy, and the office staff was very helpful and friendly. CE was a phenomenal driver and tour guide. The trips up and down the mountain were a thrill, and even when it started sprinkling, we were provided rain jackets and blankets to keep us warm. We saw a fantastic panoramic, peak-top sunset view and settled in with hotdogs and s’mores. Before we headed back down the trail, we had a majestic star gazing moment along with an insightful astronomy lesson. The kids woke up this morning asking to go back…this tour has definitely been the highlight of our trip so far!
