Bryce is super cool!, he's knowledgeable and very friendly. The view was beyond my expectation, it was snowing that day but not cold at all. The snowshoeing was fun and easy !

I did the Beginner Snowshoeing hike and it was perfection!! Matt was the best guide who didn't even laugh when I fell over in the carpark!! He carried my camera for me, taking photos (see below) and passing it over when I needed it. We caught a glimpse of a moose which was pretty special. I come from Australia and was in awe of the mountains and so much snow. This also made me a complete amateur on snowshoes and Matt was very helpful and encouraging. Do yourself a favour and take this tour - or the advanced snowshoe adventure if you have the skills. It was an absolute highlight of my trip.
