Amazing hike today with our guide Ken. It was my husband and I, another couple and the guide who made our way through Baskins Creek Trail to the waterfalls. Ken was amazing and quite an interesting fella…very knowledgeable about the mountains, nature and the wildlife. We learned so much along the way which would make it hard to want to do another hike on your own. He pointed out certain vegetation that was edible as well. The hike itself can be tough in some spots where there is a need to climb rocks. It was a perfect early fall day in mid September and we certainly broke a great sweat from this hike. Totally worth it and would highly recommend this tour.

Our guide Ben, was awesome. He was filled with so much knowledge and was understanding of everyone's pace. He also had minimum gear and snacks. He was prepared for those unprepared. He made sure we knew what to touch, what not to touch and everything. He gave a lot of history as well. It was a nice experience. If you are first timer like me. I suggest you train..haha..because on the way there was cool and fine but on the way back. We took the same path and it was more challenging because of the incline. There was times I thought i wouldn't make it..haha..but in the end it was worth it. We hiked to the waterfall in the middle of the mountain and it was so pretty. We also ran into deer and amphibians. We didnt see any bears although it was possible. However Ben prepares you for that as well. I suggest you have a hiking stick. You will need it. If we get the chance to do it again. I hope we get Ben again

We had a guy in our hiking parting that got sick and our guide Jeromy was absolutely the best handling the situation.
