This was an amazing experience! Our tour guide was Joe and he was just the nicest person you could meet. He was extremely knowledgeable on the mining history of the area. During our hike, he’d stop every so often to point something out in the forest or give us some nuggets of information. He also had the best personal stories that had all participants in stitches!! I highly recommend you do this excursion. 10/10!!
