Great tour. We had a great time. Meridian took us to the best spots for pictures and gave us many helpful tips for our visit.

I was picked up on time and was given some options for how to tour Cathedral Valley, which I appreciated. It was not a cookie-cutter tour. We stopped a few times where I wanted to photograph a scene and I was able to take all the time I wanted at each location. The guide was knowledgeable about the geology and we had a great discussion. A fun trip.
