My 9 year old and I did the hike with Kevin a few days ago. We learned so much! The view at the top was beautiful! We finished with a fresh pineapple snack. We took water bottles with us and Kevin had several hiking sticks to choose from. Be sure to wear good hiking shoes, the clay is slippery in places. Wear long sleeves and pants, or put on mosquito repellant. Highly recommend this experience!
