Neil created the most amazing customized trip (I was super limited with time) and managed to see so much over a long weekend. Neil was incredibly knowledgeable and truly gave us a 5 star experience. I’d wanted to explore Utah for some time and this trip exceeded all expectations and was truly memorable.

Extremely authentic, well-planned, and captivating tour across the national parks of Utah. Neil really know his stuff and Mindy was an amazing chef. Would definitely recommend and do again, especially staying in the RVs for several nights as it offered a completely different experience while still offering 5-star quality.

We had four wonderful days with Neil. He had made a very great arrangement for us and was very responsive to our wishes. We went great walks, paddled in the Colorado River and ate delicious food at the camp morning and evening.

Do not hesitate to book a tour or adventure with Neil. My husband and I had just enough time for a day trip to National Arches Park with this company. It was all we could have hoped for and then some! His knowledge, passion and love for Utah adventures made our experience unforgettable!

Neil of Desert Solitude gave my friends and myself the most wonderfully memorable milestone birthday girls trip!!! We didn’t have to worry about transportation, food, snacks beverages. We didn’t have to haul supplies. We brought our sense of adventure and he took care of everything else. He even surprised me with desert birthday cookies!! He’s experienced , prepared, pleasant. I highly recommend Neil as an experienced tour guide. Thank you, Neil!

Book it! Don't hesitate! I went with my 17 year-old daughter through Capitol Reef National Park. We crossed rivers, bentonite hills, breathtaking overpasses—all within the comfort of a luxury off-road vehicle. When hunger struck, our guide was grilling skewers (sirloin, zucchini, pineapple, peppers—seasoned with fresh herbs). Are you kidding??? I was so blown away by the guide and experience that I plan on booking a longer trip next time. Stop your endless online search and just be done with it.

Neil is very friendly and incredibly helpful. He offered a lot of local knowledge I would of otherwise not known, until it was too late.

Touring Utah’s National and State Parks with Desert Solitude was like visiting them with an extremely knowledgeable life-long friend. Our guide, Neil Petersen, always put our comfort and desires above any preconceived agenda or schedule. He patiently answered any and all questions we had, explained our options regarding hikes, visits to overviews, and literally went out of the way (think unpaved off-road canyons) to provide our small 6-person group with views and experiences we would have never otherwise encountered. Additionally, Neil is an excellent photographer and provided us with some professional-quality photos of the various couples on the trip that we could not have created (or even envisioned) on our own. In addition to visiting Canyonlands, Arches, Capital Reef and Bryce Canyon, we were also able to experience Goblin Valley State Park and some overlooks in the Escalante National Monument. As if that wasn’t enough, when we arrived back in Salt Lake City a bit earlier than anticipated, Neil asked if we wanted a tour of some of SLC’s more popular sights. Experiencing these daily adventures was truly a trip of a lifetime!
