Guide very knowledgeable about tour area. Overall a very good program.
It was the perfect itinerary. Our guide paid attention to the weather and to the participants and was able to make modifications as needed. He was also an amazing source of information and kept us informed and entertained throughout our travel time and on our hikes. Information about everything from geology to geography, from current politics to early settlers, Native American information and local flora. An excellent tour
