The scenery was beyond belief, and our group enjoyed one another as well as the accommodations at each site.

"The Mighty Five was a wonderful adventure. Meghan and Steve are EXCELLENT guides who are flexible, calm, fun to talk with and exude enthusiasm. Glitches do not phase them (traveler who needs extra, people with covid).
The parks are amazing beyond words. I am pleased we did the direction (Zion first and Canyonlands last) but can see positives with the opposite as they would increase in difficulty). Fellow travelers were wonderful and lots of fun, although you have no control over that ! read less

"Overall, things were well-planned and organized by the guides, which lead to a successful trip. I oved hiking in the beautiful National Parks of southern Utah and that meals, lodging and travel were all taken care of for me.
However, my enjoyment of this trip was undermined by the presence of one guest. He was much older than everyone else, at 78 years old. He had a level of fitness in his legs, but was stooped over and waddled from side to side when he walked, which effected his gait and balance. Most important he was not a hiker, ill-prepared for the trip and wore gym shoes. Proper hiking shoes are essential and this became a huge safety issue starting on day 2 when hiking in Fisher Towers. The trails are very narrow, rocky with cliffs on one side. It was a miracle that he did not fall, between his unsteady gait and slippery bottomed shoes. From that point on, one the guides needed to be near him on hiking trips. We offered him a hiking pole, which he often dragged on the ground.
This should be addressed by Active/Austin Adventures. A guest who is not suitable for an active outdoor hiking trip, on trails that were moderate-strenuous at times with narrow passages and cliffs, and who is not wearing appropriate hiking shoes is very unsafe. Moreover, traveling with an ill-prepared guest read less
