A great guide and the owners at the summit are wonderful host. We will do it again on our next visit and will recommend our daughter’s family and grandchildren go. Even if the tours are out of season give them a call.

We had a WONDERFUL time! We’re a family of 10, with 4 kids 10 and under and everyone enjoyed themselves. Dave made the ride up and down the mountain lots of fun. He pointed out all kinds of things to look at and gave us interesting local knowledge. Then at the top, Ginger and Charles couldn’t have been more hospitable! Everyone enjoyed the cookies and the view and the gift shop items meant everyone came away with a unique and very fairly priced memory! Thanks to Dave, Ginger and leather-artist extrordinaire Charles!

Our guide, David, was welcoming and informative. Cookies, trail mix, water/cocoa/tea awaited us at the top. Fun gemstones and similar souvenirs for kids as well. Charlie and Ginger who own the property were lovely and accommodating. Beautiful views from the mountaintop. It’s steep elevation so dress warm and maybe some motion sickness medicine for the dramatic elevation change and somewhat bumpy ride down.

Having done many jeep and hummer tours in Arizona, I enjoyed this destination tour into a new area. The driver/tour guide explained various scenery, gulches, canyons, plus history as we journeyed to the residence on the mountain top. We were met by gracious hosts and provided refreshments plus took in the spectacular view. They had a gift shop as well. Our guide explained the flora and fauna in the area at one of our stops. Residing on a mountain top opened our eyes to solar, water source, and living in general at that location for 20 years. The new jeep was a good vehicle for the tour. The microphone headset for the driver enabled all of us to hear his comments. I recommend this tour.

The views were amazing. Vehicle was comfortable and he visibility was panoramic and spectacular. The "top" of the mountain was great. A beautifully displayed refreshment table with items for all tastes and ages. Tranquil spots to relax. Bags and calf rope activities were fun and interactive.

Charles & Ginger and Dave are the best! We had so much fun on this tour from beginning to end. Dave picked us up at our hotel and started out our private tour with fun stories and anecdotes. The ride through the desert was beautiful and very interesting with stops along the way where Dave pointed out different sites and we took lots of pictures. We were greeted at the top by Ginger and Charles who had coffee and cookies and a view that is a little bit of heaven! We had an absolute blast while Charles tried to teach me how to rope a steer! I will NOT be joining the rodeo but we won't ever forget the fun we had at Rackensack with Charles & Ginger and Dave!

I’m new to the area and wanted a fun activity outing for my grandchildren and their parents visiting during Fall break. This was perfect for all of us and we learned a lot while enjoying a fun Jeep ride thru Tonto National Forest. David was friendly and humorous, quickly had the kids laughing and asking questions. We enjoyed the incredible views as we climbed to the top of our destination, and were excited to see 4 large mule deer, what a fun coincidence for us! We had a short stop to take pictures and David told us about many plants and animals native to this area and a brief history of the owners acquiring the property. All so interesting! He was very patient with the kids and their many questions too. Charles and Ginger greeted us as though we were their family, couldn’t have been more welcoming and eager to show us their dream property & visitors studio. With wonderful refreshments ready for us too! The kids loved looking at all the beautiful colorful rocks and they made for fun souvenirs. It was chilly and hot chocolate made their morning even more special. Kai said it was a favorite thing we did together on their visit. My parents are visiting next month and I want to take them for the sunset trip!
