Iām normally not a big review person but this was worth me taking the time to write something. I didnāt want to go off for hrs in the woods not being knowledgeable about the trail. This ended up being one of the best decisions to hire a guide. His knowledge of nature and would stop to teach simple things made it very interesting rather than just following the leader. Didnāt have to stress on where we were going , just enjoy the views. He was fantastic w the 3 , 14 yr olds we had and kept it fun. Not a super hard hike at all. Had time to stop whenever we needed. Not rushed at all. Highly recommend this . Our guide John was over the top fantastic. Forest , hiking and outdoors is his thing. You will not be disappointed. Spend the money and have fun.
