I loved being off road down in the canyon of Island in the Sky. There is no way we could have driven a 4 wheel drive vehicle in that area. Beautiful scenery and were able to get close to the Colorado.

Loved the trail, my guide Ben was very knowledgeable about the area we were in. Projected conference on the white knuckle trail ride. My seat belt did not work, great time.
