5.00I am glad we splurged and took a tour and even more happy that we opted for the back country tour. Our guide was great and offered a blanket for the windy and cold day. Our guide was very informative. She offered to take family photos and went above and beyond to do panoramic when in one of the arches. She also played an instrument in the arch while having all of us relax against the arch wall. Highly recommend
Wonderful time in Navajo Desert Wonderland
