    I had a blast going solo on a 5 day Yellowstone/Grand Teton camping trip. Justin and Eric went above and beyond to make this trip top notch. They did not disappoint. If you are going solo, as a couple, with friends, or family this trip is for anyone wanting to check off several states or national parks off your bucket list. The guides take care of everything which makes it easy, stress free, and that much more enjoyable! MountainBased provides tents, sleeping pads, and sleeping bags to use during the trip. Not to mention they cook and prepare each meal along with sharing their knowledge of each park on hikes, at camp, and while in the van. There were 11 of us on the trip. Myself, a couple, and 2 families of 4. We traveled in a nice comfortable 15 passenger van. Best to bring a day pack/camel pack, layers, good shoes to hike in, and bug spray. The level of customer service MountainBased provides goes beyond guiding. I have to admit I was nervous about going on this trip solo. Even the first moment I called to inquire about the trip James quickly eased my fears and answered the million questions I had. It's family owned and operated and they take pride in what they do and love what they do.

    Being on my own, I didn't want to hike along for fear of safety issue so decided to pick MountainBased for a tour of the 5 mighty national parks of Southern Utah. Their reviews on Yelp and TripAdvisor were all excellent so I signed up. Great choice! There were six of us customers on the trip with guides Eric and Jared. Both are smart, knowledgeable and caring young men who made sure that all of us were having a wonderful time. The 12 passenger tour bus is modern and comfortable. The accommodations and restaurants they took us to were great. The parks we visited were nothing less than fabulous. Being the oldest of the group and wanting to take many photos, I was allowed time to rest and compose the photos I wanted. Always, Jared or Eric would stay with me as the younger group continued alonNote: bring a good camera. All and all, a wonderful experience!!

    MountainBased hosted a superb week in Utah's Mighty 5 National Parks! I traveled solo and felt safe the entire time. Had two incredible guides - Nick & Chad - as well as a wonderful group of 11 other travelers who got along great. Everything was top notch! I highly recommend and will be looking into the other trips they offer.

    My boyfriend, Andy and I had the experience of a lifetime exploring Zion and Bryce through Mountainbased. They picked us up in Vegas, provided all the camping gear, food, and knowledge of the area for some incredible hikes with views that'll leave you in awe. Nick, Eric, and James were excellent hosts and ensured we were prepared for each days adventure. Andy and I are so grateful for the hard work you three each put into making the trip unforgettable for us all. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Don't hesitate! Book it! You will NOT regret it!

    Just finished an awesome five days with Justin and Steve, who led us on amazing hikes in Bryce Canyon, Grand Staircase-Escalante and Zion. Great guides, with a wealth of knowledge about local history, geography, flora and fauna. Nice campgrounds. This ranks as one of our best family vacations.

    Can't say enough about our adventure trip with the fantastic folks at Mountain Based! My wife and I did the Utah Mighty Five camping trip and our two guides Justin and Nick who took care of every single detail. The camping equipment, camp food, daily hikes, agenda, logistics and FUN were all arranged. They hikes they arranged were absolutely amazing! I would recommend Mountain Based to anyone who wants to change it up and climb on big rocks. It was truly a trip of a lifetime for us! We are already booking for next year's trip to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons.

    We had an incredible time! Jared and Eric are amazing! Professional, knowledgeable, and fun! The hikes were gorgeous and the lodging was incredible. The views were truly remarkable! They've thought of everything! We plan to book the Yellowstone trip next and will be shouting how awesome Mountainbased is from the rooftops! Do yourself a favor and book this trip NOW... you'll thank yourself when you're overlooking the canyons in Zion.

    Morbid curiosity got the best of me when Facebook recommended an event for a walking tour of true…read morecrimes in the downtown Salt Lake City area. I don't consider myself a true crime expert, but I am drawn to folklore and mystery. So I snagged my friend to join me and we were signed up for later that evening. The price is a little steep-$30 per person, plus (ugh) online fees. But when I learned that this is a one-man show founded by a charismatic ex-radio personality (thanks, Covid), I was happy to support him. Its obvious he has put in a lot of time and effort to get this endeavor up and running. Or, um, walking. He plans to expand to a van in the future to allow tours in all weather. The pace of the tour is very comfortable. We walked about a mile and a half but it was very doable. Bring water, especially when it's hot outside and wear proper shoes. He sends an email with parking and meet up directions-they are easy to follow. Plan to pay five bucks to park, unless you find street parking during free hours. Anyway, I won't give away all the details of the stops, but we visited five locations where crimes have occurred-one as recent as 2016. Jackson, or Nightcat as he calls himself, told us the stories and sprinkled in just the right amount of eeriness with facts to make it both intriguing and educational. He did not exaggerate or try to make the stories more unbelievable than they were on their own. He also shared tidbits of information on other buildings around the area-leaving me wanting to learn more. I would love to listen to him talk more about the history of our town-he has done his research. I hope that he expands his tour offerings-I could see him doing lots of cool routes.

Great views, and then get off at mid- mountain to meet your guide. After signing your life away on a simple form you get outfitted with your harness, helmut and zip line back pack. Quick walk to the training center, which is a mini zip line that is about 20 feet long and 10 feet off the ground. You learn how to hold on, go fast, slow down and stop. Then down you go. Pretty simple. Then a short walk to the Red Pine Zip Line for two rides. After being hooked up, you and a friend race down a real zip line. This time it's long high and a bit scary, well not really, well kinda ..but boy is it a thrill. Your $20 gets you two rides and that's enough for many. BUT for $25 dollars more you get the deluxe package which gets you a ride on the LOOK OUT ZIP LINE. Yeah it's a bit pricer, but worth it! The Red Pines is similar to the Park City Resort Zip Line but the LOOK OUT is the big one up here, and worth the price. You and your guide take a short hike down a path and climb on the SHORT CUT ski lift and ride up to the other zip line. This time you are going to be really high, and going to go really fast our guide said 25 vs 40mph and your going 2200 feet vs 880 feet. I must admit is was a lot scary than the first one. My teenagers loved it, I kinda closed my eyes for part of it. Hard to admit. But had to open them up as I needed to watch the guide's instructions to slow down and stop. You control how fast and how slow you go. They have a back up safety way to stop if your a total Spaz, which I was not. Short walk back to the mid-mountain which has a restaurant for lunch or snacks and then nice ride back down the gondola. This is a great adventure. I think you need to be 10 or older, weigh between 50-260lbs and be taller than 48 inches to ride. Our guide says they are open in the winter and that when it is snowing this it is really a great ride. I think I will be down skiing but it is a great option for someone who doesn't ski or snowboard, as you can get up the mountain and will get a both a scenic view of the mountains and the action below.

At the Jetty we let the drone do the exploring and we stayed besides the car swatting at bugs. I'm sure it would have been worse getting near the water and out in the brush.
