Stunning views!!

We really enjoyed our Bentonite Tour with Mel. He took the time to find out what we would enjoy the most and he made it happen! Mel was very knowledgeable about the region and the history. The Jeep was amazing and comfortable. We highly recommend this tour.

The driver was really...

The driver was really nice and informative. He showed us how to find different type of rock in different land formations. There was this one part where there used to flow water, and in those sections of land you can find naturally tumbled rocks and crystals.

Wonderful

It was our first time to visit this part of Utah. Could not ask for a better company to show us around.

Wonderful!

We appreciated that Mel customized our itinerary to meet our objectives. We made the 'blue hour' at Bentonite Hills and it was amazing. Thanks Mel for a once in a lifetime tour!

Exciting tour!

This tour is the best way to see bentonite hills up close. Our guide was a very kind and she was very educated and will answer most of your questions on what you will see in your journey aboard a jeep.
