Sometimes the best gift you can give a friend or loved one is something you can’t buy in stores: your time. Many studies have shown that material possessions do not equal happiness and that experiences are much more intrinsically fulfilling that things.The basic conclusion was that people tend to get less happy with material purchases over time, and happier with experiences.Even negative experiences can often be remembered fondly as a funny story or bonding experience. Shared experiences are a uniting factor. You are more likely to bond with someone who enjoys the same hobby/activity or has traveled to the same places that you have than with someone who has a similar possession.
Why not skip the unnecessary gifts and bring your family, your significant other, or your best friends on the adventure of a lifetime! We have great multi-day trips for families such as the White Rim, the Best of Moab Adventure Tour, and the Bryce and Zion National Parks tour. We also have shorter trips and multi-sport trips for less experienced riders! Let us help you make 2017 a year of amazing memories, meaningful relationships, and once in a lifetime experiences.
