Amazing views - Amazing views along the way, long hike taking around 6-6.5 hours total with stops along the way. It’s really cool to get almost a panoramic view at the top.

Great experience DO recommend - Jessie was a great guide and took great pictures (trust me, you need to know the angles to get great pictures in this trip). Also, she helped us but did not pamper us. The atmosphere is great, people from the mountain having fun. The communication was also alright, they contacted us a day before the trip. Just be aware that is it a medium to hard hike to do and you really need good shoes and stamina. It s great hike for people who have been in hikes before and know a bit o conduct. Thank you, Jessie, for your good energy 🔥

DO NOT BOOK WITH MICHEL NICOLAY - I booked well in advance, arrived to trailhead early and waited 40 minutes, sending a message via tripadvisor once he was 10 minutes late. No communication at any time from him. Another guide at the trailhead called Michel’s personal cellphone for me; he didn’t answer that either. I understand emergencies happen but he could have pressed the one button to just cancel the hike at any time (even now) so I can get my $70 back. Try to book with a different guide, the other guides I met at the trailhead were fantastic and the hike itself is amazing.

Stood up! - The operator did not show up. No contact details were provided by the operator. I was completely stood up. I don’t know if this operator exists. From my experience, it seems like a scam. Thankfully another operator was at the meeting point and kindly allowed me to join him.
