My wife booked this excursion and we chose the intense hike. (~6 hrs total, 4 hrs hiking)
We couldn’t be happier with our experience. Antonio our guide was just super. He clearly hikes here all the time, gave us options for three different kinds of intense excursions, and I don’t think you could go wrong with any. We chose the rainbow rocks area & quickly veered off the trail and into rocky wilderness to see even more. Lots of hiking up, around, in-between and alongside boulders. He knew local horticulture and even better, he’s a fun big guy who you feel could rescue you if needed. He also took a ton of pictures and they were truly stellar. He shared them all with us at the end... and wow, amazing!
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hike. Well worth the time & $$.
Recommend:
- Intense is great for adventuring types, usually smaller group size, our guide Antonio knew the terrain and area very well.
- Wear good hiking boots with foot protection and very good grip on soules. You’ll be walking over lots of rough rocks and terrain with areas of sand.
- We went in February, 1:30-6pm with sunsets, great weather in low 70s. Summer time they only do morning hikes because the heat is real.
- They supplied small backpacks, plenty of snacks (salty & sweet & health bars) along with water and Gatorade (as much as you want to carry). Hydration!!
