Busy, but beautiful!

4.00Pick up was simple. We stopped in Ardales on the way to use the facilities and grab something to eat for those that wanted to do so. Adorable town. Simple walk to the trailhead to get helmets and such, then off you go. You do get an audio guide as you walk by the guide leading you, but that honestly took away from the experience for me, so I ended up not using that part. The walk is easy for the most part. There are some narrow stairs here and there and it is nerve wracking for some being on a cantilevered path, so it’s not for everyone. This was not an issue for us and the views are astounding! The part I disliked a bit was being with such a large group. You can distance yourself a little bit, but not much, so this definitely doesn’t feel like your typical nature hike. Why you need a guide is beyond me. There are some checkpoints that are necessary, but a guide along the entire route is unnecessary in my opinion. Overall, the company we traveled with, the driver and our organizer were great. The place and hike are incredible, just be ready for the typical crowds.
Wonderful

5.00A great experience, wear good shoes, bring a hat and expect steps! Within the capabilities of most reasonably fit people who don't mind steps up and down. Fabulous scenery, great guiding and overall excellent experience!
Worth doing
