This was an amazing tour and our tour guide was wonderful. She was extremely knowledgeable and gave us a history of the area. It was extra beautiful as it had been snowing so we were glad they didn’t cancel our tour. The only reason I didn’t give 5 start is that while I appreciated them providing snacks I was a little uneasy when everyone took their masks off in our confined van and started eating during a Covid surge. I’d preferred if they made us wait until we got outside to eat the snacks.

It was a really great time hiking and a perfect day out. I wasn't expecting all the climbing but it wasn't too bad. Sarah was a great guide and we got to all the falls right before all the crowds hit; she timed it perfectly.

Lovely views of waterfalls and valleys! Great information and stories provided as well! The whole family (Tour Guides) is fantastic! Everett mentioned TripAdvisor, so I left a review for him there too. But he guided the Forest Park tour, which was excellent as well!
