Wonderful family experience, March 2013. The drive from Scottsdale was a little longer than the other place we went a few years ago - but was well worth it. The 2-hour ride got us towards the mountains and into some terrain that was up and down, around huge boulders and lots of plants. My kids (9-16) didn't complain once. James, our leader was friendly and helpful. (and they have clean bathrooms) We recommended this to friends who went the following week, and had an equally good experience.
We hope to be back in AZ in the future and will ride here again!
