Lucy was an amazing guide and we all had a blast! What a beautiful hike with many streams—it was so peaceful and a great hike with kids.

Lucy took us and 2 of our 5 year old kids on this hike and it was amazing. She was so friendly, knowledgeable and patient. I think the best part was sampling the edible plants! It was a great experience for adults and children alike. I would definitely return and try another one of their hikes as well!

Brooke was fantastic with my five year old daughter. She was patient while my daughter tallied all the wild flowers Brooke shared with us. She played a senses game with her and had her taste the different plants that were edible. We happened to be the only two on the walk and she accommodated and earlier time which was better for us. We had a great time!
