Dangerous tour company - stay away - The tour is advertised as handicap-friendly and suitable for all ability levels, but this is far from accurate. The description provided does not include any information about elevation, distances, hiking conditions, or difficulty level, which is essential for setting expectations. I am a plus-sized American who regularly enjoys nature walks and light hikes of 2–4 miles, even with a slightly bad knee. Before booking, I contacted the company twice to confirm the tour would be appropriate for my abilities. I was assured that the tour was easy for everyone. However, this was not the case. The first stop was at an elevation of 7,000 feet. Although I managed to keep up with the group despite the uphill terrain and slippery conditions due to rain, I fell slightly behind. Based on this, the guide decided I was unfit to continue with the group for the next portion of the hike. The rest of the group was taken to a trail literally named "The Hard Trail" by the national park, which required navigating uneven rocks, slippery surfaces, and difficult climbs—all conditions not disclosed in the tour listing. Instead, I was dropped off alone at a separate trail to hike by myself. This trail was very isolated, rainy, and slippery, with moss-covered terrain and two water crossings. Despite having waterproof hiking boots, my socks still became soaked. The guide instructed me to wait at a waterfall at the end of the trail for the rest of the group, but they never arrived. The few other hikers I encountered were equipped with helmets and trekking poles, neither of which were provided by the tour. To make matters worse, there was no cell service, no map, and no support. I waited over 30 minutes at the waterfall in the rain before hiking back to the trailhead alone, where I then waited another hour for the group to return. The driver, who did not speak English, refused to contact the guide. This could have been catastrophic if I had been injured, given the isolation and lack of resources. This tour operator is reckless and unsafe. I strongly recommend avoiding them, especially when there are many safer alternatives available.
