  • "Great 4x4 rock crawl! We did a Hummer 4 hour tour, and it was great. Mike was our driver and guide, he struck a great balance between information, guide humor, and being interested about who we are. He’s born here, and understands the geology and geography of the place.maybe most important, the ride was great. Exciting with the steeps and the rock crawling, and my back is in one piece and my kids weren’t overwhelmed.”
