    The guide was very friendly and obviously knew what she was doing. I’m a more experienced rider and went with my friend who had never ridden before. They did not give her horse a mask (to prevent it from eating on the trail) and they put her in the back as well. My friend often lagged behind and was nervous about going fast so she couldn’t catch up. Her horse was very stubborn about eating and it was hard for her to get the horse to stop and continue on the trail without the mask. I realize this sounds like a HUGE complaint but other than this the trail was amazing; the horses were very well behaved, and the views were stellar. I would definitely recommend this for beginners - but ask your guide for a horse mask ;)

    Yes, this cathedral is a spectacular catholic worship space that welcomes all to experience the art, beauty, and love of God. I was traveling to Salt Lake City and found this beautiful place. I went specifically for confession as they have it every day and upon walking in there was adoration at the altar, which was extra special. The Cathedral combines a predominately Romanesque exterior with a Gothic interior with so many murals, sculptures, and reliefs that any art lover would be stopped in his or her tracks combing the entire interior. As much a museum as a pious worship space, this cathedral cannot be missed on your next trip to Salt Lake City.

    The Tracy Aviary should be added to the bucket list of anyone who appreciates birds. The variety on display, and ability to really see them, is fantastic. There is a Bird Show that is both charming and educational; highly recommended. It was certainly a delight for the children present. We also paid to feed the Lorikeets, which afforded up-close and personal time with the colorful little cuties.

    Great views of the mountains and downtown SLC.
    Even if you don't make it all the way to the top the views from half way up are spectacular

    This is a park near the SLC cemetery. It has nice views of the Salt Lake Valley esp. at night. Recommend it for younger and older and there is hiking there too.

    This was our second time booking a trip with Mountain Base. The guides were fun, knowledgeable and always professional. We would definitely book another trip with Mountain Base.

    Tim was a real down to earth guy. He had everything well planned and new exactly where to go for the birds. He even knows where the best restrooms and restaurants are. A little thing that makes a difference. I would definitely book another trip with him.
