My partner and I have frequented this area quite a bit, so I was skeptical about finding stops that are truly off the beaten path. But we experienced a solid three "what the actual..." moments, a lovely vista, and an enjoyable lunch. One star removed because I felt it started a bit slow (both the number and quality of options at the first stop), but from there the pace and weirdness increased steadily to a great peak. Definitely check out if you're in the mood for a day of offbeat exploring.

I loved the facts and info around each location but didn’t find it as adventurous as the many other GWTs we have done. I should add our weather was a bit up and down so not favorable the whole time, so parts were complicated to complete

My boyfriend and I set out on this adventure in April and lucked out on the weather being perfect for this trip. We loved the first 2 stops and the extra side detours. The 3rd stop was great, but would have liked to know prior that other options were available while there. The last stop I was really excited for, but was left underwhelmed overall. The overall trip was great and my boyfriend and I have taken a few other trips and even gifted some to family members as we enjoyed it so much.
