My wife and I decided to start our vacation with a hike. We are not in fantastic shape, but we do stay active. This hike was perfect for us! Our guide, Caroline, was amazing! She was very upbeat and knowledgeable about the area's history and vegetation. She would slow down for us when she could see that we were struggling with the uphill portion of the hike, educating us along those stops. I would highly recommend the Hidden Cascade hike for those who don't mind a good workout, and I highly recommend trekking poles or a walking stick.

This was a great hike! Along with seeing stunning mountain views, we crossed streams, climbed on rocks, and rested next to a beautiful waterfall. Caroline was a terrific guide. She’s very experienced and knowledgeable. The park has an amazing history and Caroline shared much of that with our group. Inexperienced hiker tip: definitely bring a walking stick or borrow one from your guide. And maybe bring some powdered Propel to replace electrolytes if you’re hiking on a hot day. (Gratefully, Caroline gave a packet to my husband!)

We have used A Walk in the Woods in years past and were always very pleased. We are not avid outdoors people, nor are we in great athletic shape, however, the strenuous hike was well worth the end result. Our guide, Abby, was courteous, professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and well versed in picking up clues that the hikers needed to rest. ;-) I feel certain we will use this company again and again.
