What a great trip! The hikes were on trails that were a little out of the way so we weren’t surrounded with lots of other tourists. That allowed us time to get all the photos we wanted and time to take it all in. The scenery was beautiful! Our guide, Traci, was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and took great care of us - her trail lunches were delicious. I highly recommend this trip and Outdoor Mavens to anyone who wants to see the Utah desert without fighting crowds, and to anyone who just likes a good hike.

This trip was so invigorating! Traci planned a perfect mix of fun activities and down time for relaxation and recuperation. Traci thought of everything and made sure we comfortable. There was also a great sense of community among the group, open communication and collaboration. Kati was also a joy to be around, and it was a very welcoming environment. The trip was absolutely perfect!
