Kimble our guide was outstanding! I was hesitant to book the tour but it was well worth the expense and I would highly recommend it to everyone.

We had a wonderful guide who took care of us the whole way up and back down. He even brought poles to help us with the trip down. I appreciated all the encouragement and patience.
