You really raised the bar for future trips! The scenery was spectacular. It was good to brush up on my water-crossing skills, too. This may become one of my favorite hikes ever. – Glenn R.
I honestly had the best time! I have absolutely nothing but compliments. Keep up the good work Andy and please keep me informed of any other trips you plan in the future. Thank you!! – Andrea T.
I especially enjoyed the creek crossing! I was also very glad to learn about additional techniques for hanging bear bags and all sorts of general safety tips. I can't think of anything I would change - even glad I now know how to handle backpacking in the rain. – Jessica C.
I absolutely loved this trip! Everything about the trip was perfect thanks to Andy and Yvonne. I had a blast, learned a lot and wish it would never end! – Lucy W.
Loved it, would love to go again – Jen K.
Andy is a great leader; he helped us with our weaknesses and praised our strengths. He provided a nice balance of group hiking and also let us hike at our own pace. I would recommend this trip to anyone who has interest in hiking any type trail for an extended period of time. Experienced hikers would definitely benefit as well. If you have every wanted to "get out there" this is the trip to take. – Charley S.

Perfect distance each day, Andy flexible when appropriate. Awesome section of trail - good mix of scenery. Cool hostel - good experience. Loved the documents to read through. Andy truly taught us vs. just doing for us. Overall great experience! – Toni M.
The trip was absolutely fabulous and Andy and our group of adventurers were upbeat and positive even with mother nature throwing us a few unexpected curve balls. I would do another trip in a heartbeat! – Paige
