We went on this tour with our two adult sons and we had a wonderful time. Travis was our guide and he was excellent, took lots pictures, dealt with some weather problems and looked after everyone. The scenery was incredible. The lodging was of very good quality. Some of the hikes were strenous but most of the group were senior citizens and they handled it well. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves great scenery and is in reasonably good physical condition.Show more
