First of all it was the best experience we have had to see via helicopter the beauty of the terrain and wildlife of the national parks. I was very thankful that Leah arranged to have the best helicopter company and pilot. Most importantly the professionalism of this pilot and safety was paramount. Leah listened and helped to get this arranged specifically which made it a beautiful and safe experience of the Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks and surrounding areas. I would highly recommend this agent and this travel agency to arrange private excursions.

He said some of what was outlined was not possible in short time frame and was surprised we asked for only one day in Yellowstone. We did not ask. That was the offered tour. Tour of Yellowstone and Grand Tetons a bust. We were told weather might affect and long drives so I accept that. Was not told that many of the roads and views of all Yellowstone Lake are not open until at least May 1 and some not until May 15. Saw zero views of Grand Tetons due to fog. Nobody's fault but none of the internal roads were open by the lakes so total waste of time. This after scary drive over the pass due to snow. 3 day tour from Salt Lake City should not be an option since it is 10 to twelve hours of just to and from driving to and from SLC. Then much of the park is closed. We were so disappointed we flew out of Jackson Hole to escape the 6 hour drive back.

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.

Transportation for your private photographic safaris depart from and return to the town of Tooele. Exact start times will be coordinated at the time of booking & are dependent on sunrise/sunset to ensure that you have access to the herd for the best lighting that time of year. The tour is limited to a maximum of 3 guests traveling together. Children must be 10 & above. The easy drive from Tooele to the Onaqui HMA will take approximately 45 minutes. Depending on where the horses are located there will likely be a small bit of walking involved. The terrain is primarily flat and easy to traverse so this activity should be no problem for those who are able to walk the equivalent of 4-5 blocks at a time. During our time in the field you will receive one on one photography instruction to help you improve your technical skills as well as your ability to creatively frame an image. Please feel free to bring your preferred camera body, lens and tripod/monopod combinations but all external light sources and drones must be left at home. All guests will receive complementary electronic images of themselves in the field photographing the wild horses.

We spent most of the time in the van and when we did stop at the locations, we weren't able to go inside to tour any of them or even use a bathroom at them, we just stood in the driveways to learn about them. I admire her passion for teaching, but we cannot for the life of us figure out how our $3000 was spent. The wine was limited to an ounce every time, and whenever we asked for a second "glass" the lady pouring would say "well we want to make sure everyone gets some!" - the "snacks" were two tiny pieces of cheese inside of a ziplock baggie and there is no place to use any restroom throughout the course of the entire tour... mainly because the tour takes place only in a van and standing in driveways. For $3000, a nice suggestion would've been a charcuterie spread INSIDE of one of the locations with some tastings and every person at that price should at the very least have been able to go home with a bottle of wine from the tour. I give her credit for starting up a creative business in an extremely competitive tourist city, but I can't in good faith allow anyone else to pay so much money to go into this expecting a luxury experience, and end up getting yelled at by a bus driver and having to sneak around an old hospital just to pee. I really liked her as a person and hope she can take this advice and use it to work on creating a better experience for all.

My experience with Basecamper mirrors was not a good one…read more In particular: 1) After taking delivery of the van and starting our trip, the rooftop tent ripped off the top of the van while driving down I-15 at 80MPH. After pulling over and calling the owner, Matt, he pointed me to an item in the list of things he had supposedly trained me on, marked in the document as "need to know." 2) I never received any instruction to drive the van at 65MPH, which is significantly under the speed limit. I did receive training on how to set up and take down the tent, but nothing else regarding speed. That is indicated in the section I initialed, however I never received any verbal training or instruction to drive that slowly. I have driven with multiple roof racks, ski racks, etc. and have never been aware of a speed limit restriction, certainly not one that is 10-15MPH under the legal speed limit. Matt did tell me that he was "tired" from having to drive to Capitol Reef the previous day to deal with another vehicle issue related to his fleet. 3) From the damage, it appears that the right rail failed, in particular the right front attachment to the top of the van, a Yakima roof rail. It appears to have completely torn off from the van, causing the rail to snap and the tent to fly off. In addition, it seems that the tent was in no way secured to the two rails perpendicular to the Yakima bars, as there were no bolts of any kind attaching the tent to those rails. If those bolts were present, the roof rail would have never snapped even if the Yakima attachment failed. . 4) The above statements indicate to me that the tent was not attached to the roof of the van in the recommended way. Based on my inspection of the other vans in the Basecamper fleet and others I saw while on our trip, as well as my own experience, the tents are attached directly to the roof rails (Yakimas) via the standard connections you see on a Thule or other roof rack. I have never seen an attachment set up like the one on this van with two additional perpendicular rails that are not secured to the tent. 5) Based on 4), it seems that the tent was attached in some sort of way to accommodate the vent, which I believe is not consistent with how it was supposed to be installed. Matt insisted it was industry standard, but as I stated I've seen and used multiple rooftop racks and attachments and there is never a set of wood blocks involved. 5) Additionally, there were other issues with this van, it overheated while idling for less than 10 minutes and I had to put a quart of oil in after the engine started knocking. Additionally, a cabinet door came off the hinges and there were issues attaching propane canisters to the tube connecting them to the camping stove. I only point these out as they indicate a pattern of issues with the van that support the statements made above. In summary, I don't think the issue was a result of my driving at a legal speed, it seems more an issue with the tent not being installed properly. Yakima roof bars should never fail if installed properly, and given how the tent was installed it's a pretty logical conclusion that those had issues as well. This was not only an inconvenience for our trip, but a very dangerous situation if the tent had hit someone's car on the highway when it flew off. In my dealings after the fact with Matt, he has come across as very defensive and argumentative. Given the gravity of the potential consequences, I would think every effort would be made to ensure that each requirement that the driver needs to know is explicitly called out and delivered to the driver so that there is no chance for something like this to happen. The attitude I've been getting in my dealings with Matt does not give me any confidence that they are committed to doing everything possible to ensure a safe trip for their customers. I don't think the van I rented (Tan Campervan) is suitable for customer rentals.

Before booking a van or RV I did endless research and I will save you the time. IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO RENT A RECREATIONAL VEICHLE out of Salt Lake City, BOOK with these guys. The Van. Approx 880$ Booked the tree-line van for the extra space as we had a significant amount of gear, plus you'll likely be transporting firewood at some point. This was a good choice for us given our gear situation. Clean van, and most importantly mechanically sound, no problems at all, no speaks, no rattles, no freakin worries! This thing was easy to drive, easy to see in the mirrors, and not too big where I couldn't take it wherever I wanted. It was surprisingly good on gas(I babied it and only three fill ups for all that mileage) Set up well, the netting in the back is like genius, the cabinets/cooler easily held food for six days and all our beverages. I mean I was making eggs every morning, full bbqs for dinner. you can really take and cook whatever with the setup they provide. setting up the outdoor camp stove on the table(also provided by basecamper) wherever, whenever, in some of the most beautiful locations in the united states is not enough to warrant the price mark but, was some of the most enjoyable parts of the trip. Its a hotel on wheels with literally everything you actually need to spend sometime off grid already included. The bed was comfortable, plenty of blankets/pillows I brought sleeping bags knowing it would be in the 20s at night and never touched them. used the heater one time in Teton for about fifteen minutes, it warmed the van enough for the entire night. issues: Had a little issue starting the heater, but I made a phone call to them and figured it out in ten minutes. I broke the French press, I replaced it before returning the van, and they were understanding and did not charge me No other issues. Trip: We drove from basecamper vans to Jackson hole, did the entirety of Yellowstone park, back through Jackson and to salt lake. We drove whenever, went looking for wolves every night/morning. You could not drive this van more than I did in 5 days. grand total I was over mileage by 594miles I paid an extra 200$ and honestly I would have paid more. It was a flawless trip. I've done Moab in a rental car for the same time, in the end the extra few hundred you spend for a van like this pays for itself, everything you need is there and if you are like us and trying to see Yellowstone in a short period of time, this is the way. thank you basecamper vans. trip was glorious and you had a big part in that. James.
