Customer experience is the standard of service you receive
The tour was as good as advertised, which sometimes is not the case. Our tour guide, Cat, was marvelous! She was so knowledgeable, pleasant, and professional. We felt very lucky that she was able to revise plans on the fly, like when the bathrooms weren't fully functional at a planned stop; she had another great stop for us 10 minutes away that included great coffee, pastries, and ice cream. Cat really enhanced our trip. Also the local guides were really good. And our driver, Robert, was a big plus. It was so nice having him always at the ready with a helping hand and a cheerful smile, even on cold, dark, rainy days.

Active Trip Details
Navigation Close Icon
What is an Active Trip? This is an "Active" lifestyle itinerary, with walks and hikes most days. Hikes will range from easy/moderate to strenuous. No technical climbing skills are required but a reasonable level of fitness is required to make the trip more enjoyable. Understanding that not all people want to hike at the same pace or even on the same trail we will, where possible, host map orientation and then let everyone disperse to enjoy the trails best suited to them.
What to Pack Guests should bring lightweight hiking shoes or boots, broad brimmed sun hats, sunglasses, layered clothing, reusable water bottle(s), a hiking day pack and hiking poles (optional)
Weather & Altitude While the itinerary is laid out below, we are at the mercy of the weather and so reserve the right to adjust the program as necessary. Please keep in mind that the higher elevations and possible variations in weather and temperature can increase the perceived level of difficulty of our activities. Elevation ranges up to 9,000 feet for Utah’s Mighty Five and up to 11,000 feet for California High Country Adventure.
Everyone reacts differently to altitude and so if you do have any health issues you should check with your doctor that this trip is suitable for you.
