Paul, our guide, was awesome! Paul has extensive knowledge of plants, flowers, birds, waterfalls and area history. He loves nature and it shows! Paul helped everyone in our group feel at ease. He chose easy trails with beautiful waterfalls!!! This tour is a win win and was money well spent. We were able to see and do a lot. This tour will not disappoint! Highly recommend!!!

Thank you for this outstanding recommendation! Paul loves this kind of feed back almost as much as he loves nature. Come back soon!

We really had a great time with Chris. I very fun and knowledgeable guide. We saw beautiful waterfalls and great scenery. We went to ice house that was built on hunting lodge estate and and look out of over the estate. Beautiful The weather wasn’t the greatest, but we felt Chris still did an excellent job.

Mountain weather is certainly unpredictable. No one better than Chris to guide you with knowledge when the sun doesn't shine! Thank you for your review.

Heavy rains made our scheduled itinerary unsafe so at first we were disappointed. We soon learned that our fabulous naturalist guide MK would not let us down. She promised us even better waterfalls on our substitute journey through the state park and she certainly delivered. We had a great time! Our guide was knowledgeable, respectful of the differing ability levels of our group, and just plain fun to be on a hike with. We tasted a few trees (really!), learned some history and some nature and saw absolutely beautiful waterfalls. What a wonderful experience!
