What people love about Mighty 5 Tours for Seniors
- Mighty 5 From Salt Lake City
Excellent tour guide who tailored the flexible itinerary to meet everyone’s needs,
the best way to explore the vastness and glory of the Utah desert is by camping and hiking in small groups. I enjoyed this trip immensely, it was challenging enough but not too much. Our guide was a brave and resourceful powerful woman. I am planning my next trip with you already!
