We had such a great time on this hike! Kevin was amazing and so much fun. This was even better than we anticipated. The snacks were enough for an army and lunch was delicious! I would recommend this company to everyone. 5 stars are not enough!!!!! We are two 72 year old ladies and the hike was very doable. We got lucky and saw 9 long horn sheep on the hike. Do not hesitate to book your hike.

John went above and beyond with staying in communication and coordinating our adventure. Kevin, our guide, was friendly, patient, and very hospitable. I highly recommend this tour (sunset tour is the best!).

Jon was a great communicator prior to the trip - we had several phone calls to understand the itinerary, the timing and what to expect. I had really high expectations after those calls, and the trip didn’t disappoint. Our guide, Kevin, was knowledgeable, energetic and really fun. The canyon was beautiful, the meal was great, the still/quiet coming up in the dark was amazing. Overall, we had a great experience and HIGHLY recommend this trek. Thank you Kevin and Jon!

We did a half-day sunset hike with Kevin--who was outstanding. He was kind, funny, very knowledgeable. We would absolutely recommend him and this company anytime. Everything was taken care of--all we had to do was show up, hike, and enjoy the amazing views. The weather was perfect and late afternoon was definitely the way to go. Absolutely book this hike if you are thinking of going down into the canyon!
