Jeep Tours: What to expect

A Timberline Tours jeep tour begins when your guide picks you up and takes some time to find out more about your group’s preferences. Guides will want to hear what you’re most excited about exploring, and they’ll give you some options to consider based on that day’s open trails, weather conditions, recent weather events, and recently reported opportunities for wildlife and wildflower viewing. Timberline Tours customizes its jeep tours to meet and exceed guest expectations, so that’s why we value guest input from the moment you book your trip until even after you’ve returned home.
