Despite the reservations which I had about the guide and other aspects of the trip, it was a great trip simply because of the awesome nature of what we saw and where we walked. I do think you need to warn people that these places are very, very crowded with tourists esp the first three NPs because this was a bit off putting and at times really hard to cope with. But perhaps if you did this, people wouldn't go! I did enjoy the trip esp as the group was interesting and fun to be with and we all got along well. I'd certainly think about doing another Explore trip in the US in the future.Show more
