This was more fun & interesting than I imagined it would be! I have lived here for 16 years, and hiked and walked these mountains a lot, and still learned more from taking this tour! Add to that, the beauty of the area and a really FUN guide, Jeanie Silk was our guide. She will definitely keep you entertained and share info not even those of us that live here know! And don't forget the "off road" part of the Jeep tour. I was kinda hesitant (yes, I'm in my 60's) but it was a blast. We were laughing and hanging on... what fun! Cheryl M.
