We did this trip during the winter. Was a bit cold for me so I would do it again in the spring/late fall. The food stop recommended were great and the sites to see were awesome!

Awesome Day Trip!

My wife and I have always enjoyed taking rides to explore different areas around where we live. The "Guess Where Trip" was a new way for us to enjoy exploring, adding the mystery of not really knowing where we were going to explore. We loved opening the envelopes to see where we were headed next, found something to enjoy at every stop. We fully intend to get another trip this summer, when weather is a bit warmer...it was a little chilly for us to include the walk/hike stops, other than for a quick stretch your legs, check out views, take pix. Highly recommend!!
