WE ARE OPEN AND OPERATING TOURS
In compliance with current State of California Regulations for outdoor recreation:
As of June 15, 2021, masks are required for non-vaccinated or partially-vaccinated individuals whenever they are within 6 feet of another person (not in their household, which includes the tour guide) or when riding in the jeep or other vehicle. Masks can be removed by non-vaccinated or partially-vaccinated individuals while hiking or when out of the vehicle as long as everyone maintains at least 6-feet of physical distance between one another. Masks are not required for fully vaccinated individuals. This policy will be updated from time to time in accordance with current scientific data and CDC, State, County, and Local guidelines, regulations, mandates, or restrictions.
For the protection of everyone, guests who have already had Covid-19 or who have received the Covid-19 vaccine must still wear a mask. If you are unable or unwilling to wear a mask on tour, then you should not book a tour at this time.
