Most Inspirational Moment
The morning we got up early to have a hike and watch the sunrise. We were on a mountain peak with clouds at our feet and waited to watch the sunrise. It was beautiful. A moment we won't forget.
Thoughts on Group Leader
He was very knowledgeable. He advised us when we needed to take care and kept an eye on the entire group and assessed each of our abilities. He was a pleasure to listen to and answered all of our questions. He had a great personality and was easy going and had a great sense of humor. We all enjoyed him very much. Also, he was very accurate on telling us the length of hikes, the time it would take, what we should wear or have in our backpacks (just in case), etc. He was also always willing to suggest restaurants for lunches and dinners. When hiking, if he saw other groups, he was good at keeping us either ahead or well behind them. He was always able to find us a quiet spot for our picnics on the hikes.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be in shape. Take snacks for your hikes since the box lunches provided by hotels aren't very good (unless you like a lot of bread). You can buy great fresh fruit, veg, nuts, crackers, etc., at local stores. Layer clothing, in the mornings you may be cold, but once you hike, you warm up. Also, depending on if you are on the north or south sides of a mountain, you might be in sun one moment and then shade the next. Also, breezes cool you down instantly. We all had backpacks and found ourselves switching clothes quite regularly on each hike.
