Aside from the actual off-roading which was, of course, so much fun, this was a great group to have this adventure time with. All the guides were down to earth, fun people to hang out with and the mine tour was super legit. I would absolutely recommend this activity package to anyone who enjoys history and getting dirty in some canyons. Will definitely be doing this again if I’m back in the area
