We had a very good time, our guide Leander was really knowledgeable about all aspects of what he was showing us. Recommended camera settings and gave insights to great photos. I hope to return to property. To be honest I didn't do to much photography, wife's department, I was walking around pretty amazed especially about the history of different canyon uses. Once again I'll be back.

The sun was shining through the rocks and Rose Ann and Ernest were very interesting to listen to. The group was small which made it much easier to get that amazing shot I was hoping for.
