Just cant wait for a longer trip!! – Darlene A.
I especially enjoyed the creek crossing! I was also very glad to learn about additional techniques for hanging bear bags and all sorts of general safety tips. I can't think of anything I would change - even glad I now know how to handle backpacking in the rain. – Jessica C.

I wouldn't change a thing! This was an absolutely wonderful experience! Every detail was planned and well thought out by our guide.
