Out of the four that piqued my interest, this one was first on the list. Looks like there were other trails branching off from the main one, but I stuck with the main walking path. There were benches and informational signs scattered along the route. All of them worthwhile in reading. Unfortunately, I was saddened by how much litter I found. Irresponsible and narcissistic people. Boooo! The Nature preserve was well worth the time spent and effort to drive out here. Check it out!

The best thing about Arlington is all the trees and hills. North Texas is mostly flat and DFW isn't known for its foliage, but there's quite a few spots in Arlington that really feel "far away." There's true hills and canyons and forests and creeks. You can be in the center of the metroplex and still feel lost in the woods. Crystal Canyon is such a spot. This park is so pretty. I appreciate all the little signs that explain the trail and history of the area. Crystal Canyon gets its name from all the crystals (gypsum) to be found in the vicinity, particularly the creek. There's a few beautiful bridges and benches. The hike is fairly short but super scenic and enjoyable.

He reached out via text prior to start of the tour to provide important information and just say hello and introduce himself. Photo included! He was a great driver and very patient with participants. It was unseasonably hot that day and he kept checking to make sure everyone was doing OK. Even assisting the ladies(myself included) into and out of the van. I love that it was a small group. Makes it more personal. We went to all the major sites in just over three hours. Cost is very reasonable($62.99) and I booked through Viator who also does a great job! This tour is HIGHLY recommended!

I have now done three Storm Chasing Adventures with Tempest Tours and am now eagerly awaiting my…read moreforth tour this spring in 2012. After using Tempest I would not go anywhere else for a storm chasing holiday. I first used Tempest as they seemed to be the biggest company out there with the most experience in Tornado Tours. Right from the beggining when I first signed up for the tour they were great. They communicate with customers very well and are always willing to help with any questions you have. The storm chasing tour director gets in touch before you even leave home to introduce themselves and gives all guests a chance to do the same. My tour started in a very comfortable hotel in Oklahoma city where we all met in the morning and had our orientation. The orientation is fun and gives you an idea of what to expect out of the tour and is a good chance to meet the other guests. The vans are very comfortable and modern and every guest has a window seat, you can even ride up front sometimes with one of the drivers. The vans have a monitor in too, so you can see the radar and the storms that you are chasing. The staff are great and friendly, they are good at answering everyones storm and weather questions no matter what your level of knowledge. Every morning starts with a briefing so you know what the plan is for the day. Each day ends at comfortable and clean hotels. On every tour I have been on I have had the greatest adventure and seen storms that have blown my mind. Tempest make you feel like a part of the team and like a real life storm chaser. Everything is good! Food, hotels, staff, storms, vans...... I hope you enjoy your next storm chasing holiday. Maybe see you out there. Tom Trott. U.K.

Oh what fun! To be sure, loving a road trip is a must!…read moreI first heard about storm chasing when I was 8 years old from a magazine photo article featuring photos and discussions from storm chasers of the day (one of which runs one of Tempest's education tours!) My love of severe weather has been lifelong. Then in 2008 I decided it was time to act on this love in a more tangible way. The library does have certain limits! I looked up storm chasing on the web and found that there were several companies that offered to facilitate storm chases. I phoned several. Tempest Tours was the only group that got back to me in a reasonable amount of time. And that is purely why I chose them. Each tour that I've been on has had at least two to three meteorologist on hand to chart our course. The Chuck Doswell tour is one of my favorite tours. Chasing with a world famous severe weather expert was fun and educational. I also liked the photography tour run by Brian Morganti. I learned quite a bit about my camera. Lightning shots are challenging, but when you get one... wow!!! Bill Reid, one of the tour directors and meteorologists has the uncanny ability of being able to point to a patch of clear blue sky and say a storm will happen there! And it does! People always ask, "what if I don't see a tornado?" Well, of course that is a possibility. I had one tour where I didn't see a tornado. (I've been on 9 so far) But we have always gotten to a storm on each day. And wind events and hail can be just as interesting. Really! Finally, I have met some of the most interesting and beautiful people on the trips. I have several friend with whom I stay in contact with throughout the year and a few who I see each year on my return to the Plains. It doesn't get better than that! Kudos to you, Martin Lisius for making art and science happen for us all!

Someone said something about the driver not putting on music, speak up. They will be more than happy to set up your phone. I got to be the DJ for our drive. I played classic rock and we sung so loud we didn't need the karaoke mics lol We did a 10pm on Friday night & it was awesome to see Dallas at night. Our driver took us to The Blue Alley which had some great artwork and we got the tail end of a festival & I was able to buy some artwork from a local artist. This was our first time in Dallas and I just feel in love with the city. I called ahead and asked them if "kids" could go to. We had a 13 & 15 year old and they said Yes. We just exchanged the bar stop with another selfie stop. While in the bud you will tons of looks. Just smile and wave !

My parents were here for a short time and we…read morehad only one day available to do the tour - FW Tours was super accommodating and opened up a new tour just for us. Our tour guide Charlie did an excellent job covering the unique history of Fort Worth as we walked the main blocks of Sundance Square. He was a great story teller and very engaging. We felt sad to see what an impact COVID has had on the city - there are very few people out (on a Monday morning, anyway... it was hopping last Sat night!) plaza is no longer a place for gathering. The fountains are shut off, many restaurants have closed, and multiple museums have not reopened (not even the visitor center!). I wouldn't have been surprised to see a tumbleweed rolling down main street. From the tour we learned of many ups and downs Fort Worth has experienced over the years, and we hope this situation is no different. I'm ready to see Fort Worth's revival!
