Had a lovely nature trip with Shawn. He picked us up at our hotel and took us to the mountains. We saw multiple ski resort areas, waterfall and even a lake. Shawn gave us a lot of information about the history and was happy to be our camera man as well. It was a very laidback experience and it was a pleasure talking to Shawn throughout. I would recommend this trip!

Our experience with this tour was absolutely fantastic! Shawn was an incredible guide—super personable and full of local knowledge. Being from the area, he provided a unique insider’s perspective that made the tour feel extra special. He shared what makes Salt Lake City unique in so many ways, and a fun highlight was stopping at Swig to try the famous “dirty sodas”—a must-try! What really stood out was how accommodating he was. Whether it was stopping for scenic views whenever safely possible, making spontaneous detours (like our Swig stop), or even picking us up from the airport and dropping us off at our Airbnb, Shawn was beyond flexible and kind. If you’re looking for a relaxed, customized, and scenic way to experience the beauty of Salt Lake’s canyons, this is the perfect tour. Highly recommend!

Shawn was outstanding, from texting us two weeks prior to our tour to reconfirm as we books about 2-3 months prior, this was reassuring. He adjusted pick up to our hotel and was flexible with pick up time and communicated. He was authentic, knowledgeable and attentive to what we wanted to accomplish on the tour. Riding on the salt flats provided a different perspective and sun set was great! He is a music junkie and so is my husband, allowed for pleasurable conversation during our drive. Such a wonderful tour! Would highly recommend!
