Amazing vistas and highly competent guide.

Amanda_M, Oct 2024
Shauna was friendly and knowledgeable both about the risks with hiking and the ecology of the area. The hike was challenging with the fresh snow, especially the push at the end, so cleats and hiking poles came in good use! The vistas were incredible. I would not have done this hike without a guide so appreciated the experience very much.
