Awesome experience; stunning scenery

This was the kind of outing that our family is always looking for -> off the beaten track, stunning scenery and knowledgeable guide. Jason was an outstanding guide; wealth of experience and knowledge of the Capitol Reef and Utah in general. It was a bonus that he is an experienced photographer and shared some tips and also took some great shots of our family in this mystical wonderland. Cannot recommend Jason highly enough.

Best 8 hours of my life!

Jason was a terrific guide. We booked an 8 hour tour, thought it would be a long day but if flew by! Saw so many things that I will never forget. Spiritually uplifting to see the Earth from this perspective. Jason was very cool about me crying the whole time, from joy! I think this tour is a MUST for anyone visiting Capital Reef.

The best way to see Cathedral Valley!

My husband and I booked the full day tour of Cathedral Valley with Jason. What a perfect day! He picked us up at our Torrey lodging promptly at 8am in his comfortable Ford Explorer. I’m so glad we picked Jason to take us into the backcountry of Capitol Reef. We saw and learned so much! He was very knowledgeable about the geology and history of the area. He willingly spent as much time at each site we visited for as long as we desired. We never felt rushed. I sat in the front passenger seat….he patiently answered all my questions. And I asked a lot of them! We were wowed by the breathtaking scenery at every turn. Thank you Jason for giving us a most memorable day!

Burr trail/water pocket fold private tour

Our full day tour of burr trail/waterpocket fold was wonderful. Jason our guide was very knowledgeable about National Park-geological features-plants and animals-history of area. He tailored our trip to our interests and capabilities as seniors. He was an excellent driver on the back country trails. The scenery was just breath taking. We went on some short hikes. Even saw dinosaur bones in a cliff wall, amazing This was one of the best tours we have taken. Would love to go back to Torrey, it’s a wonderful area and take another tour with Jason.
