Summary:
Our guide for the trip was Ria, and she was 5 star from beginning to end. Pick up was easy, and we enjoyed a nice ride up to Squamish. The hike to the first peak was a challenging 2000’ vertical, took us 1:30 up, about an hour down. The weather was perfect, and we saw some paragliders and squirrel suit jumpers off the 2nd peak. We then had a great beer and pizza in town before heading back to Vancouver. Ria was the perfect guide for this day, and we would love to hike and tour with her again someday. If you are active and like hiking, this is a great 6 hour excursion-highly recommend!

Summary:
Ria was very accommodating for those that have a slow but steady hiking pace. Her knowledge of the area was so helpful and informative for those just visiting. I would recommend this hike and tasting for anyone who loves a great view and a good brew to finish it off.

Summary:
We were so glad that we booked this trip. Ria was a lovely host/guide, door to door service and extremely informative and helpful. Hike was easily achievable (we are in our mid fifties/early sixties) as Ria did it our pace and we did not feel rushed. We got to the first view point after about 1 & a half hours and what a fantastic view! We had some lunch & an opportunity to take photos before beginning the descent. Added bonus of brewery visit at the end with a much deserved beer!
