The Mighty 5 from Salt Lake was an excellent compilation of the best of Utah's state parks. The itinerary was well-paced for a variety of abilities, and the fact that there were options for levels of difficulty ensured that all participants could get the most out of their experience. Our guide, Brandon, was truly the star of the trip. He is an encyclopedia of knowledge and provided thoughtful and thorough answers to any questions we asked him. He was able to "read" each of our strengths and limitations early on. Always with safety in mind, he encouraged us to push our limits, but also said "no" when he knew someone could not manage a particular outing. Brandon's positive attitude and enthusiasm never waivered throughout the entire experience--he made it amazing!Show more
