Great, fun hike! - This was a great way to spend the afternoon out in the fresh air. Ben, our guide, was fabulous. We learned new things about local mountain vegetation, life in the early 1900's, and got to see remnants that were discarded when the townsfolk left. We saw a few game animals along the way and some very recent bear scat. The hike does have some steep areas to climb but they are short. Our guide gave us a moment to catch our 60 year old breaths. Whew.. Overall it was memorable and pleasant!

So much fun, also learned a lot! - It was a really fun tour! Our guide Jacob was friendly and knowledgeable, he told us about the history of the area, unique trees, traces of animals etc. I met a nice couple on the tour, we really enjoyed the group hike. It's not a short hike, but I would have enjoyed at least one more hour! I highly recommend this tour especially for solo travellers like me. This is a great way to meet people and have fun, and also learn.
