 “Tom's place is such a great find. It is amazing to be in such a peaceful place with so many activities available to you right there. We did a couple 4x4 roads in our Jeep right from Base Camp, there were amazing hikes, kayaking, disc golf, or just sitting on the porch watching the animals. You can keep as busy or as still as you want at Base Camp! My favorite part was meeting the other guests and chatting around the campfire at night. Tom has so many fun stories to tell and according to our 12 year old son, he is the best story teller! The road in over Hurrah Pass is definitely rough, but no problem for our Jeep (especially since we were in Moab to off-road). We went into Moab a couple days to do some 4x4 trails, but it is an hour into town, so keep that in mind. We grilled dinner most nights and cooked breakfast in the kitchen several mornings. Would definitely visit again if we get back to the area! Thank you, Tom!”

 

“A life changing experience, in the best way possible.


"It's impossible to summarize."


“A truly EXCEPTIONAL, once in a lifetime adventure. The "road" over Hurrah Pass is spectacular, yet testy. Some white knuckles, yet never an issue for our Wrangler. Initially, we were very reluctant as we navigated the hairpins, canyon drops and rock features, but with time, we became comfortable, took our time; navigating, photographing and admiring the spectacular views. The Base Camp is MUCH greater than we ever anticipated. We stayed in the Male Hogan (3 nights) and it was the most relaxing and incredible trip we have had in years... if not ever! The views are remarkable, the peace and quiet is restorative. The journey to Chicken Corners is highly recommended, and Wind Caves (en-route) is stunning. The Hogan is stocked with everything we needed, except food & drink (Tom provided us with plenty of water). Tom, with his dry wit, is a GREAT story teller and most accommodating host. His attention to detail and responding to our occasional needs was spot on! We shall return!”


“What an experience!! Tom goes above and beyond for his guests. Hiking, side by sides, and lots of firewood - it was a rustic dream come true. Just keep reading the comments about Hurrah Pass... totally doable but make sure you have a high clearance vehicle. We drove a Nisson Pathfinder and it was tricky, but Tom drove us up to Hurrah Pass the morning we left. This place is a diamond in the rough.”


“What an amazing place. Thanks to Tom we can enjoy the astonishing beauty of a National Park without all the people. It's a little scary at first driving in, but it's very doable with a high clearance vehicle. I highly recommend taking Tom's advice on the hikes on his property, going kayaking but make sure to go upstream and then float down, not the other way around, and taking Tom's Side by Side to the Wind Caves and Chicken Corner. The stars are incredible too! We stayed in the male hogan. It is such a magical experience. This ancient building style keeps it extremely cool during the day and warm at night. Tom gives you all the wood you need for a fire, so don't worry about bringing wood. One of my favorite outdoor adventures we've ever had.”
