| - My parents live in the area and my brother got a UTV delivered to him last yr for next to nothing for the day, so I thought I would try it out....
Well, I come to find out that he rented in the hotter months, so the pricing/availability was quite different (i.e. most places were more than double the price, with limited to no availability, etc.; in addition, they were all about avoiding any liability and couldn't care less about their clients).
Needless to say, my family (wife, 9 and 5 yr old daughters and myself) lucked out by finding Mike. Mike IS the SIZE that matters! As you see from the one other review (only one I came across, so felt obligated to add another), he is in fact an expert with the terrain, area, history and is passionate about showing people a good time. In addition, I felt like he was able to gauge my ability to drive very precious cargo and push me to the limits (within bounds) that made this more than just the vanilla rides you see on commercials for these same hi powered BEASTS of the desert terrain! In the end, you had a combination of: an exhilarating offroading experience, an education and appreciation of the land, an understanding of how the local habitat played back into the early economy (both local and extended) and a sense of accomplishment by doing something that was, at times scary and challenging but rewarding and fulfilling!
When we return to the area, we will not do anything like this without Mike and I would suggest, if you want to get the best bang for your buck and overall experience, you do the same! Thanks Mike!
