Our first time hiking in snow and 3 of 4 in our group first time in Colorado too, our hike is amazing and memorable! St.Mary Glacier is beautiful. Our tour guide Tyler and Matt are so friendly and helpful. We appreciate the extra patience and support guiding us throughout the day. The pizza is delicious, honey on the crust is a must-try. The warm temperatures of the hot spring soothed our tired muscles. Overall our day of this tour been adventurous and relaxing for us. Thank you.
