Trip: Maze 5 Day

Guide: Claire B., Shane O.

Good morning! This is Gerry Monkman, cgmonkman@gmail.com The trip was awesome and the experiences even more impressive. Claire and Shane, and Trey, were great hosts. Obviously know their stuff. Couldn't believe the quality, selection and preparation of the food. We really enjoyed the time with them. They did a great job of taking care of this 82 year old man for sure. I do have one suggestion, and that is in regard to e-bike battery maintenance. There was a bit of a cavalier attitude to keeping our batteries up and fully charged. As a result several times during the week I had to ask to make sure my battery was fully charged. Particularly on the 35 mile day with high level of headwind, I ran out of battery. because I started at about 60% It was frustrating on that day worrying about having enough battery instead of enjoying the trip with plenty of power. We did pay an additional $100 for that service . All in all it was a great trip and I believe we are planning on another one next year on the White Rim.

Great itinerary. Gus and Garrett were great guides and work their tails off. The food as always (my 4th WS trip) was excellent.

Guide: Anna R., Will C.

Anna and Will were excellent guides (and chefs!). It was an excellent and memorable experience from beginning to end with a good group as well. The remoteness and beauty of the Maze was outstanding and a great way to tune out from life for a while. Anna and Will’s easy-going style and professionalism made it extra special. What a trip! Already looking forward to the next one.

A great trip! Anna and Will were beyond helpful and accommodating. They both cheerfully worked hard to make the trip work like it should.

Terrific! Gus and Garrett are both top notch and worked so hard! We had perfect weather for the whole trip, the food was delicious and healthy for every meal. The riding routes were all scenic and fun. Both camp spots were great, huge starry nights.

Our guides, Garrett and Gus, were absolutely amazing. They were very patient with me as I have attention deficit and they had to keep repeating things they'd already told us mant times. Garret fixed my bike when I crashed. You're so lucky to have Garret and it's very sad that Gus is leaving. Everything was perfect and we will recommend Western Spirit to our friends. THANK YOU!!!

Trip: White Rim

Guide: Garrett C., Trey T.

Fantastic! Great guides; great group; great scenery. Not sure if there was a library but would have enjoyed more access to history of surroundings, geology and plants. A little short on food but that might have been because we had several big guys on the trip. For next time would have liked half and half for coffee rather than coconut cream + greater variety of snacks including more cookies and dots pretzels (something I’ve come to look forward to on Western Spirit trips but didn’t have this time.). I’ll be back again. Plenty more trips to try including the Maze! Sharon
