A little exhausting for sure. But overall a great experience eouldnt have been as good without a chill guide though. - Becca was a great tour guide. Didn't go too far ahead either, always maintained pace with us. She was super knowledgeable and patient with our lack of dexterity. 11/10 would go again.
