Yelp Review
Unbelievably wonderful experience. So much better than anticipated. Guides knowledgeable about the local history, geology, and flora. Lovely short stroll thru a palm oasis, followed by dinner back at the 'ranch' with country music, a little dancing, and roasting marshmallows. The staff was friendly and we felt they were truly happy to have us as guests. All of this and a starry desert night too. Just, "Wow!"

We’ve been coming to the desert for a long time and always looking for something different to entertain the whole family. We FOUND it. What a great experience. We were greeted and welcomed as soon as we got out of the car.
