Our original tour was cxld for road closures due to ice. They notified us early enough and offered an alternative guided hike/ tour which was excellent. Our guide Luci was sooo nice and shared a ton of fun & interesting facts & history about each area, and put our bear concerns to rest. We highly recommend these tours for 1st timers or anyone that likes to leave the planning and driving to someone more experienced so you can enjoy all the sites.
