The hike was extremely strenuous (as mentioned in the description). Madison was great identifying the various plants and flowers along the way. The views at the top were unbelievable and very much worth the steep climb up.

Madison was great! Everyone in our group wanted a different experience and she went out of her way to accommodate all of us. The path we took there was gorgeous and the views were incredible. I would highly recommend this.

Really enjoyed this day hike. Tyler arrived right at 0900 and it was a short 20 minute drive to the hiking spot. The hike can be adjusted based on group ability but this particular hike was not difficult - mainly flat, only 800 feet ascent over the ~6 hour/11.5 miles. We paralleled the Eagle river and had tremendous views and also saw moose along the way. This is an excellent option if you are not sure where to hike and/or need someone knowledgeable to point out many of the details (how to get around the moose for example!).
