My son (age 13) and I joined this hike on a gorgeous day in late June. The guides, Meg and Marisa, were knowledgeable, professional, patient, engaging and fun. The group moved at an appropriate pace, and there was lots of good information shared that we wouldn't have learned otherwise. There were a couple of great surprises on the trip route too, which I don't want to spoil. We stayed in the park for several days, and we kept applying what we learned on this trip - identification of trees & rocks, Alice's trail markings, etc... A fabulous trip. Remember to come with lots of water & be ready to hike at significant elevation... it's harder than it sounds!
