5.00Very knowledgeable guide who tailored the experience to the group’s interests (wildlife, scenery, history, etc). He took his time and the promised 3.5 hours ended up being over 4 (and much appreciated). The temperature varies widely (in June it was low 70s in mid June, but 47 and brisk wind on top of the mountain). Dress in layers! They provide heavy blankets.
Amazing experience. Our...
