Beautiful day.

Harriet_P, Apr 2023

The forecast was for a very hot day which may have scared people off. This was to my benefit because I had the guide (Bill) to myself. It was a glorious day and I saw beautiful scenery. The ATV was great fun to drive.

Great

Lori_L, Feb 2023

The cannon was the best part. The only thing that stopped a 5 star review was we didn’t stop enough for photo’s.

Great fun

Dale_S, Jan 2023

Worth the cost

Lynn_F, Dec 2022

Beautiful scenery, loved the canyon and the guide was great. We went in December, bring coats, it can get chilly.

Worth the trip and extra money

Kurtis_B, Dec 2022

It was fun to visit box canyon. I could tell it was a local hot spot for off road fun. Lot of people out there shooting targets as well. Ray (our guide) had a fun grandpa vibe to him. He was kind and knowledgeable. The views are spectacular! It was worth the trip out of town. I know it is more than the other tours. If u could afford it I would suggest this one.

Great couples activity

Connie_P, Oct 2022

Birthday Box Canyon Trip!

Laura_C, Mar 2022

Such an amazing experience! Our tour guide Bill was awesome and very knowledgeable. We stopped frequently on the trip and he gave us little history stories about Box Canyon. That was a huge perk that we weren't expecting. All in all the trip was about 3 hours of driving, 30 minutes of gearing up/tearing down. I would recommend this to all of my friends and family!

Super Fun!

Craig_J, Mar 2022

Box canyon was the most awesome. Great guide! Directions to the starting point could use work . Maybe a sign on 79

Beautiful area well...

Ray was an awesome guide and very knowledgeable. I’m from Austin, TX and booked a trip to disconnect and this experience helped me do exactly that. We stopped for photos, snacks and history along the way. This was the highlight of my vacation and I highly recommend it. Thanks Ray!

Friendly / knowledgeable

Marybeth_B, Aug 2021
