Summary:
It was a great walk and wonderful information on the flora and fauna of the area. Our guide, Jesse, was great! She was able to answer questions, went at a good speed for walking, and generally made the walk more that I thought it would be.

Summary:
Justin was excellent. We had a small group and every question was answered expertly, plus some, with great fun facts!
We even got to see in real life only an hour after learning, and on a completely different trail, how a red squirrel carries up and places a mushroom on a branch to let it dry out! It happened less than 20 feet away from us!
The trails he chose were perfect and he took care to make sure they were safe for us especially after the bad storms they had recently.
If we returned, we'd be happy if he was available again!
