Las Vegas Hiking & Camping

Mr. Joel Clark is an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable about the history of USA. Provided great information and driving is very safe.

Our family recently had an amazing private tour to the Utah National Parks and Grand Canyon with Justin as our guide and Becky as our vacation planner.Becky was so patient and had great ideas to customize the tour to match our interests. She even included a site with dinosaur tracks for the 10-year-old who loves dinosaurs, a huge hit!Justin was the ideal guide: personable, knowledgeable AND fun! His knowledge of the parks and history was unbelievable and his narration was fascinating. On the rare occasion where we asked a question to which he didn’t know the answer, he always researched the answer. Also, he was great with the kids! He accomplished what we thought was impossible: riding each day in the van without the 10-year-old and 13-year-old even once saying “I’m bored.”Between our food allergies and mobility issues, we provided Justin with challenges, but he always remained upbeat. We had wonderful hiking experiences with outstanding views in each park: for every park, he recommended specific hikes for each of us, based on our physical abilities/mobility.Shopping for our daily picnic lunches required a lot of his time to read all the food labels: he knocked it out of the park with his tasty, allergy-safe food selections. His recommendations for dinner each evening were great. Having pizza with delicious dairy-free cheese as we watched the sun set over the Grand Canyon was a fantastic memory!We highly recommend Justin and Bindlestiff Tours and would definitely travel with Justin again.

This experience far exceeded our expectations. Having Joel as our personal guide was a HUGE asset. Day to day flexibility was amazing. There was a total of 4 of us in our group, and we can't imagine how the experience could have been much better. Many kudos and high fives to Bindlestiff & Joel

This trip was an incredible way to access and ride an entire blossoming network of trails in and around Ely whihc are otherwise rather hard to navigate without a guide. The food way amazing! The staff were incredible - helpful, very experienced and knowledgeable. I couldn't recommend Bindlestiff more highly.

This was such an amazing trip! The guides were incredible; so helpful, nice, and DAMN the meals were fantastic! When was the last time you had falafel and salad after a ride?? It was so great. The Nevada trails were totally epic. We only saw one other rider the entire time... people are missing out! Challenging, gorgeous scenery, and photo ops for days! The guides were totally sensitive to everyone's skill level and it was a totally no-pressure, no-judgment environment. I chose to hike a couple of the rides, and it was perfect for me. I'd recommend following the provided packing list, but pay close attention to the weather and the elevation. If you're not used to Nevada's climate, it can add a challenge! I can not recommend this Nevada bike trip enough, and I also can't wait to take another Bindlestiff tour!!

First of all Cindy at Bindlestiff Tours Customer Service was great and handled all our queries patiently and provided all the required information. Jon as the driver cum Tour Guide was great - he had detailed knowledge of the places we visited and scheduled the activities very well. Because of his effective scheduling we(family of 3) were able to do 3 hikes - Part of Bright Angel Trail in Grand Canyon(2 miles into the canyon and back), Zion Narrows Riverside Walk(we were also able to wade 25 meters into the Virgin river at Narrows) and the 2.9 mile Queen's Garden Trail and Navajo Loop in Bryce Canyon. We were also able to swap Horseshoe Bend for Lake Powell. We were given an option of Navajo Taco Dinner at a Navajo family home. The dinner was very good. The lodgings at Bryce(Ruby's Inn) and at Monument Valley(Goulding's Lodge) were excellent as was the sunrise view from our sunrise view room at Goulding's Lodge. Jon stopped at various view points on the way and also took our photos(Desert View, Mather Point for 30 minutes, Checkerboard Mesa, Lake Mead etc.). Based on our experience, I would strongly recommend Bindlestiff for any of the tours listed on their website.

Hogan was our excellent guide. We were a family of 8 ranging in age from teens to mid sixties of varying hiking ability and were all able to enjoy a wide range of activities. We paid extra for hotel accommodations and found it well worth it although, if everyone is willing to sleep in tents, you can save a lot and have basically the same adventure.

Hard to put into words but this was the perfect way for our family to experience the dramatic sites and cultural experiences of the southwest National Parks! We had the most amazing tour guide (Thanks Marie!) and the agenda was the right balance of keeping us engaged while covering so much ground. Each National Park had its own unique and wonderful qualities and this 7-day tour gave us just enough time to soak up the natural beauty. Also, there are hikes and tours for all ages (we let the boys take on the more difficult hikes while Mom and Dad took the more accessible routes. The pick up and drop off in Las Vegas was very convenient and allowed us just enough time to enjoy a few nights in Las Vegas. Would HIGHLY recommend!

We did a customized tour to fit in as much as possible into the tour in two days and it was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble for Joel, he was super efficient and helpful, always trying to make things easier for us. He was fun and managed to fit into our group dynamic seamlessly. The itinerary was amazing and the sights spectacular. What an amazing tour! I will definitely be recommending to my friends and family! I would also love to come back for another longer tour one day!

Awesome trip!! I did the 7 day Southwest tour and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. The most amazing views I’ve seen in my life. Can’t wait for my next trip with Bindlestiff, they did an amazing job.
