We don’t believe that being herded like cattle or being crammed into an overcrowded vehicle is the way to be treated. To ensure that you don’t have to endure that kind of memory, we only have small groups. Your day starts out when we pick you up at your hotel in one of our full size 12 passenger late model vans AND we limit our groups to a maximum of 8 guests. The ONLY exception to that is if a private tour is booked.

We take the time to allow you to have a similar experience that for your trip. For those who may want a more photo memory trip, see our Photo Tour page.

Preparing for your Day Tour- throughout the year weather changes can occur rapidly. Plan on layered clothing and wear a hat. A jacket or sweatshirt should be brought as evenings can get into the 40-degree range even in summer. Sunscreen should always be worn and moisture wicking clothing is recommended. Bring chapstick. Although we will do all that is possible to help, it is your responsibility to check the weather and to bring what you will need. Comfortable shoes should be worn, with an emphasis on support. Although we don’t go on trails, there can be uneven ground and rocky terrain in some locations.
