Due to forecasted rain showers, they offered us a new schedule that day with a guided tour, which was really great. Matt was a very fun and knowledgeable tour guide. He even shared his personal experiences and interesting true-to-life stories, that’s why the trip didn’t feel so long. Matt was so light and easy that our kids even enjoy his company. The sites we went to: Glacier, Wildlife sanctuary, salmon river were amazing, truly awe-inspiring.
