I really enjoyed it including scenery and the great photo opportunities especially at Sunset. Our tour guide was very courteous and helpful to me. I would book again when I revisit SLC from Australia.

Close to Salt Lake City and the guide was knowledgeable. We had an amazing viewing of the Bison crossing the road in front of us. Sunset was amazing too!
