We went on a private hike to hidden Falls with Connor. He was very knowledgeable and kept is interested the whole way. He explained to us about the trees and the wire was it flowers and all the little subtleties of the area. It definitely would not have been the same if we had gone on our own. I highly recommend this hike. It was moderate intensity and a good 3 to 4 hour workout. This was not a high traveled route so we didn’t run into a lot of people during our hike. I had never gone on a guided hike before but I certainly would recommend this.

This was the first time booking through Trip Advisor. Based on the recommendations this was highly recommended! We agree, it was fabulous! Rachel was our guide and she was an absolute delight! We could tell that she has found a job she truly enjoys! Not only did she teach us so much about the vegetation and other things along the trail, she respected the time we needed to rest and to take it all in. This is a beautiful area and sometimes we just wanted to stop and take a look around and take it all in. There was no rushed feel at all, and we enjoyed every minute of it. The reward of seeing the falls was amazing. So peaceful and not as well traveled of a trail as some of the other ones in the area. We only saw maybe 10-15 people in just over 4 hours. Glad we got the 8:00AM adventure as it was already starting to get busy in the parking areas. Please bring the recommendations listed on Trip Advisor to be fully prepared and to fully enjoy the adventure! Hiking shoes, hiking poles, water, and snacks were all extremely helpful. This was the highlight of our week long trip! Thank you to our guide Rachel once again for helping to make this experience unforgettable!

Jeremy was incredible- the hike was very educational due to Jeremy’s extensive knowledge. Jeremy was very accommodating to the groups needs and allowed us to progress at a pace that was right for each hiker. Beautiful hike with a wonderful waterfall to cap it off.
