REVIEWS

It was a reasonably priced tour with flexibility on timing. Key rock formations were highlighted and history of local native Americans was told. One story I enjoyed was how the desert features here were used in the cartoon of the roadrunner (beep beep) and the Wiley Coyote!! at the insistence of the cartoonist.
