Good experience. Cotton candy mountains was definitely the highlight of this itinerary. Some areas such as the pink lake was underwhelming. Tour guide Ali made the experience much better. Very knowledgeable and friendly.

I loved the hike to 5-finger mountain. I wondered at the magical striations at Candy Cane mountain. I was a bit disappointed that we did not enter the forest area, except for a quick photo stop at a viewpoint.
Beautiful experience

Lovely day trip Our guide was Elchin, he was great at explaining the site and answered all our questions. It’s a small group which was lovely. If traveling during the offseason I would recommend bringing snacks as not many restaurants were open
