Do it like a local! Follow along in your SUV / 4WD on this incredibly scenic family fun canyon trail. Vistas for miles before we begin our descent through switch backs, "pucker pass" and under a giant fallen rock. Further down we will see a balanced rock, jug handle arch and the Colorado river. This is an easy trip that can be customized or added to another drive or hike.

A great full day trip with John on April 18th. We only had a few days in Moab and wanted to maximize our experience. John certainly provided that with a combination of hikes with stunning views and incredible terrain and two different 4x4 drives. One down from Dead Horse Point State Park into the valley, the second very exciting and technical drive through a section of Hell's Revenge 4x4 trail. John took us to a number of sites with petroglyphs and pictographs as well as several days worth of vistas arches, alcoves and towers. Throughout the day, John was friendly, professional and very informative with the history and knowledge of the area. To top it off, John is a great driver doing things with the Jeep that I didn't was possible. Would definitely tour with John again and would recommend him to anyone looking for something off the beaten path.

Kristin was awesome to take us on a great off-roading adventure. My wife is a bit less adventurous but Kristin made it all seem so easy that she was at ease but I got to have a blast doing things I would not have attempted if we didn't have a guide. Took the time to explain interesting historical features along the way. Also stopped to watch someone climb Hell's Gate in an altered jeep. Absolutely would recommend adding this your Moab must do list.

What a phenomenal experience we had with Neil of Desert Solitude. Neil customized a wonderful excursion for our party of ten people. With four adults and six boys (ages 8-16), Neil had to work hard to ensure everyone had a great time, and we sure did. We visited Arches and Canyonland National Parks all in one day. Our group was made up of skilled hikers/runners to busted up knee and bad achilles kind of hikers (me). Neil claimed from the onset that he prided himself on being flexible, and this was no lie. I took more moderate hikes while the rest of the group did the more challenging ones. Everyone was satisfied. Neil has an easy, affable, and informative charm about him that makes each person feel at ease. My 14-year-old son referred to Neil as a "G.O.A.T." This is high praise from a teenage boy. We will most assuredly use Neil again when we return to Utah. Wish we could give him 6-stars!

Poison Spider Mesa is a Moab icon and the off-road experience in the Moab Mega Buggy is unmatched. We effortlessly climb and descend the obstacles on our way to the best sunset spot on all of Moab. This trail visits the mesa top just north of the Colorado River and west of Moab Valley, and it reaches overlooks of the river and valley. The expanses of unbroken slickrock and views of the Behind the Rocks area and the La Sal Mountains make it one of the most scenic routes in the area. *Source BLM.gov

We did two different half day trips with John, one to Canyonlands and one to Arches. There is so much to see in these parks. John maximized our experiences with efficient itineraries without us feeling rushed and we really felt like we saw most of what potentially could be seen. Not only is John a great tour guide, but also captured great candid photos of my wife and I, images that silently speak to our relationship much like you would hope for from a wedding photographer. The added, much appreciated bonus from John, were his recommendations of where to go explore on our own on free days; places you don’t hear about when considering coming to the Moab area. So thankful the time we had with John who started our tours early enough to get the sunrise photos of arches that leave others envious.

My OCD sometimes paralyzes me when looking for the 'best of the best'. I'm always trying to squeeze the most out of anything. If you are like me then stop looking! We were just in Moab Apr 2021 and this was one of the highlights. It was me/wife/and two boys 18 and 15. What made the experience so awesome was Brendan! He is the owner and operator. You could tell he loves what he does which I value highly. His Jeep is not only specifically rigged to do the trails safely, it is also designed to do it comfortably. After 1-2 hours you will start feeling like you were in a clothes drier and will appreciate how his rig is special. My wife who usually gets motion sick was perfect. He picked us up at our hotel (door-to-door service) which was awesome. He knew ever answer to every question. He engaged everyone in a very natural way. He stopped several times and because it was just 'us' we could do whatever we wanted. It felt like a good friend was taking me on a special tour. No pressure. No awkwardness. If I could rate it 10 stars I would. And if he charged more I would have paid it. Just outstanding to see that there are still people out there that are hard working and passionate about what they do!

Booked a Sunset Tour to Hell's Revenge after reading about this one of a kind guy, Mike! This man has a great sense of humor, a gentle soul who loves what he does and really wants to show you a good time. Wow, did he ever succeed! Neither my partner or I had ever experienced such an exciting ride in a real jeep climbing rocks that you would never think a jeep could climb!!! Mike has been doing this sport since he was a kid, so we had every confidence that he knew what he was doing and he follows the rules and is very safe. He is a veteran and it felt extra good to be supporting a veteran operated business! Go for it....book a trip with Mike and you will have a blast, guaranteed! Thanks Mike for a really fun evening!
