Our guide, Britt, was outgoing as well as sensitive to the needs of the individuals in our group. Her knowledge of the area, the plants and trees we saw on the trail, as well as the animals we might have seen, was impressive. The 3-mile Eagle River trail was easy to navigate and it was beautiful!

We had a great hike and Jacob our guide was awesome! My husband and I appreciated the pace of the hike since it was our first one. (We are 59 and 66). Jacob was very knowledgeable about the fauna and flora. He put me at ease about being in bear 🐻 country. (I lost the sole of my boot and he duct taped me up, haha). This hike is worth it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
