The Brewery Roll of Salt Lake City is the tour that mixes the exciting, exploratory nature of an urban bike-tour with the tasty adventure of sampling microbreweries! Groups ride bikes (provided) to a few curious points of interest in the greater downtown area, both historical and current. Multiple stops along the way for breaks, photos, and good old rest.

We provide bicycles, helmets, water in bottles to drink, one sample at each brewery, and of course, the guided experience.

James is excellent and proud guide of his hometown. He took us through neighborhoods and attractions that we would not have seen on our own. The city became even more beautiful with this tour. One of our top memories on our trip to Utah. Highly recommend!

The drive from Tooele to the Onaqui HMA will take approximately 45 minutes & once we arrive at the range, there are various locations where we will begin to look for the herd grazing, resting or coming to/from the watering holes. Depending on where the horses are located, there will likely be a bit of walking involved, so close toed shoes are required, and dressing in layers is also recommended to account for weather change. During your time in the field you will receive one on one photography instruction to help you improve your technical skills as well as your ability to creatively frame an image. Achieving beautiful wildlife photographs is about more than just being in the right place at the right time, it's about seeing the possibilities of the scene unfolding in front of you through the lens. Please feel free to bring your preferred camera body, lens and tripod/monopod combinations but all external light sources and drones must be left at home.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Snacks, Bottled water

Exclusions: Guests must bring their own photography equipment, Alcoholic Beverages

Reviewed By Denise W

Our tour guide was very personable and entertaining. He was able to share both historic and current information and was very knowledgeable about all things related to Salt Lake City. The tour allowed the perfect amount of time at stops to walk about and take pictures. It was an excellent overview and provided the right amount of information on things I might like to see more of on my own time. Unfortunately the Tabernacle was being renovated at the time for earth quake protection, but the substitute stop at the Cathedral of Madeleine was quite lovely.
