“Our guide was amazing, he gave us options for how far outside town we wanted to go and what level of hike we wanted to do - taking the time to get the input of our 9 year old. We opted for something in the medium difficulty and a little bit outside of town, and it was totally worth it. The whole way up the trail Brett engaged with our daughter (and us) about the plants and animals in the area, he extremely knowledgeable and personable.

“A magnificent tour, even in a large group we were well looked after, the view from the fortress is superb and the hike is moderately difficult at most (even for those who don't hike very often, in my opinion). There are a few stairs, but it's less than an hour to the viewpoint, which is really worth it. As it was still quite cold, the trail was pleasantly empty but easily manageable with a jacket.
