Incredible one and only sunset hike - We took the Rose Valley and Red Vally sunset hiking tour which I believe is the only truly hiking tour of this kind! It was a 3-4 hours going through the valley and truly incredible experience. Our guide Samet is very experienced, attentive, helpful and patient. He also has a great sense of joy and fun! Hiking is challenging at points but never impossible you ended up feeling very confident and accomplished! The view, the pink rocks, the setting Sun and the trees and grasses are something we’ll never forget! Wonderful beautiful day! Thank you so MUCH Samet!!!!! Wish you all the best ! Sammy and Mom❤️
