A fun and informative trip. Ben was funny and full of interesting details. Could not beat the scenery. A “don’t miss” trip when you are next in Moab.Posted on Google![]()

We took the Jeep tour of La Plata Canyon with Tim as our guide. We could Not have expected or had a better experience. Tim was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuine. his anecdotes, knowledge of the region, its history and geology, served to enhance the tour. He selected a few short hikes along the way where he was helpful with footholds and perfect picture locations. Tim even selected perfect spots where he took pictures of my wife and me. Our tour will be a lasting memory of our Southwest trip and was reasonably priced.Posted on Google![]()
