What a great, fun ride! Brandon is an excellent guide! Explained the E-bikes, gave us safety instructions, and was very knowledgeable about the desert. After riding a bit, he gave us the option of a mellow, scenic ride, or a more adventurous one. We had to try the adventurousness one, of course! Brandon gave us tips about how to safely ride the trail and we had a blast! The scenery is just amazing! Especially as the sun was setting, the colors of the “golden hour” was just amazing! Highly recommend this trip!!!
