Loved it from start to finish. LOVED the hospitality you showed - I felt totally pampered all weekend - you thought of everything. Loved it! THANK YOU! – Ashley D.
The hands-on workshops with water filters and fire building were especially helpful to me. There was much value in having a guide with Yvonne's vast experience to talk to women about backpacking safety and other issues from a female perspective. – Laurie J.

I loved all aspects of the trip, well....except that 28lb pack was not so pleasant the first hour, but after some adjustments by the guides, it wasn't difficult. I did not want the weekend to end! All the guides were so helpful, friendly, and full of information from their own various personal experiences. I will definitely do this again! – Bridget M.
