Great scenery and a comfortable walk/distance. To boot Buck was a fantastic guide and provided useful back stories and historical references.

Views were phenomenal and wouldn't do this hike without a guide, but tour guide was lackluster, seemed jaded by politics and wasn't cognizant of individual pacing differences.

Great experience all around. Our group ended up being small, just my wife and I along with another guest.
Emma was excellent at navigating the group dynamic and attentive to the needs of the group. She provided pertinent information and a great experience all around.
Terrain was extremely approachable with the provided slip on spikes. Beautiful scenery throughout the walk.
