Just found this link. I don't remember ever getting an email to rate. I remember this trip fondly. This tour is so much more amazing than the description. We drove through tight canyons with amazing geological formations. I just loved it! I couldn't taking enough photos. Who would have thought that an adventure to the San Andreas Fault will enable us to see canyons!
