I cannot praise Ray enough… truly. As a curious sole, he answered every one of my crazy questions about the country, animals and nature with confidence and patience. From the moment we met him we could tell he the perfect fit. He was incredibly friendly (not just with us but it was very obvious he was a valued guide in the industry) and professional while making us feel welcome and respected. He was funny, knowledgable, kind, generous and took great pride in his country and his job. I also think it’s important to mention his incredible driving skills. He made rugged terrain feel like a smooth ride by his sheer talent behind the wheel. Not only that but his familiarity with the trails and road was just superb. Over the course of the trip, we began to feel like Ray was more than a guide, he was a travel companion of ours that we valued as an integral and irreplaceable part of our trip.
