Great Hike w/a Great Guide - The first hike was a little longer than expected but absolutely beautiful. Our guide was awesome at making trips back and forth as we as a group broke off into two groups. lol The sounds and scenery where great and I loved how our whole group checked in with each other. The second waterfall was much faster and breathtaking. Our guide even stopped at an extra stop so we could see Mt Rainer.

Don’t miss a chance to explore outside of Seattle! - Our guide Susan was amazing! Her knowledge of both the plants, the native history as well as history of the area really made for a wonderful experience. Plus, our group of 10 was represented by 6 different countries!

Tiring but rewarding! - It was a beautiful hike! I would say be ready to do a few inclines. We brought our own waters but the guide had extra and a few snacks which was cool considering how much we hiked up. 10/10 would recommend! The views were amazing

Nice & Enjoyable Side Trip, but Ached a Bit Afterwards :) - Marc was great with the group. He was personable and pointed out points of interest along the drive and the hike. He was also compassionate for all members of the group, whether they were experienced hikers or not. There should be a better defined description of the level of difficulty. Some of the people on the hike did not realize it would be as difficult as it was. There were quite a few steps and steep inclines and down slopes. It was tough for some of the members. Marc was great with everyone, though.

Do away with the hike - The hike to the waterfall was too far to climb. The waterfall at the top was not worth the hike. The excursion would have been good without the hike.
