Customized Tour - Lots of Fun with Robin Kohn - The best aspect of taking a tour with Robin Kohn is that she can customize the tour per your interests, and, more importantly, your fitness level. She can structure your tour so you get to see the best sights, keeping your comfort level in mind. I am not very active physically, but, under Robin's guidance and protection, I was able to take 2 separate tours, a 2.5 hour tour and a 4 hour tour the following day. I was able to see McCloud Falls, all 3 levels, Lake Siskiyou, Castle Lake, climb up to Faery Falls under Robin's guidance, went up to 7,000 feet up Mt Shasta, stood in a Golden vortex, and had the experience of a lifetime! It is important for visitor to the area to have the expertise of a guide like Robin as she knows the trails a newcomer must take to make it safely up to Faery Falls. Moreover, she has the equipment you need to stay safe from the wildlife of the area. She provides walking sticks and has all the emergency equipment needed in her back pack. While touring, Robin will state the history, facts and figures, and pivotal events that shaped the area. Get ready to marvel at what beauty is in this area as Mother Nature presents the finest scenery! You're bound to take many amazing photos. Robin herself is a trailblazer as she was with the forest department, was with search and rescue teams saving people's lives, and is a published author. I highly recommend Robin Kohn. You are in good safe hands with Robin Kohn as your tour guide and you are in for a fantastic adventure!
