Caleb was great! We didn’t have to drive and we got to experience 4-wheeling without fear! Learned about petroglyphs vs pictographs. The views can’t be beat! Thanks Caleb!

We had an awesome trip to Silverton. We drove up with Jared and then Tim took us on the Jeep tour and then back down to Durango. Impressive driving in the snow and sleet. Beautiful scenery and great guides. Tim was exceptional!

Tim the Tour Guide was the best! I went out the past Sunday and it was absolutely perfect. Tim knew all the great spots to stop and wander, take scenic pictures, and enjoy a nice snack with the best cookies available. I learned a lot about the history of the Durango/Silverton area as well as some intriguing information about the landscape and terrain. We made a stop to meander and check out the scenery (saw some fresh bear tracks in the snow 😉), just as it started to lightly snow, BEAUTIFUL! On the way back to Silverton, we managed to spot a couple of bull moose relaxing so we stopped to watch them interact for a bit. They're HUGE! Anyway, all this to say, I'm so glad I booked this little excursion. I could have stayed out in the back country forever!! I am already planning my next trip, and will be requesting Tim as my guide. Until next time! 🫶

We did a jeep/van tour of Arches. Alec drove us with a small group and he was fantastic. He had intimate knowledge of the park and knew exactly where to go to avoid crowds and make the post of our time. The best part was he kept “taking the pulse” of every person as to how they were doing with the pace of the tour, if they were getting tired from too much exercise, making sure we had water, etc. This was important as we had quite a range of ages on the tour. He would happily adjust as we proceeded. Everyone on the tour felt they got a personalized experience. We all agreed we would ask for him again.

We had so much fun on our Jeep tour. We got to see some wildlife, lovely waterfalls and spectacular scenery. Tim, our guide was outstanding. He offered us local history, a some geological information and was over all a very fun, and informative guide. We appreciated all that he did to make our trip very memorable, including serving us strawberries to us at 10,500 ft
