Great walk in the woods..

EMLEPORE, Jul 2023

We picked enough berries to make a pie but wound up eating them all at lunch. Helena was an excellent guide who explained a lot about different plants and berries...and she wielded a mean axe as well. Her fire building and lunch making deserve a gold star .

Our tour guide Jeff, was amazing! He’s very knowledgeable with the national park and everything you need to know about which mushrooms to pick and the difference between each type of mushroom. So many berries to pick, we added them and the berries to our lunch by the lake. An overall memorable experience and a new found appreciation for Mother Nature! Thanks Jeff!!
