I would highly recommend a journey with Pedal & Paddle!! One of our excursions from our cruise was an e-bike trip. We were picked up by a Greg, who turned out to be an amazing guide, and traveled to our starting spot where our other guide was located with bikes and helmets ready to go. Our group was made up of experienced and beginning riders. Our guides did all the safety instructions and helped the beginners feel comfortable on their new ride. Then we were off. On our journey we made stops where the guides shared historical, geological, geographical and behind the scenes information about the area. They also stopped in areas where we could get some beautiful pictures. It was a beautiful day and our guides were so patient with our questions and finding answers. They provided us with waters and snacks for the trip. Our guides knew quite a bit about of info about the area and the love for this region was evident!!! Greg even took us on a bonus trip to Mt.Adams because we had the time and one of the guests’ name was Adams. What a wonderful experience it was for all of us. Thanks, Pedal &Paddle
