I had a hike with Paul today and it was wonderful! Paul is a wealth of knowledge on the area and the ecosystem. It was an absolute pleasure hiking with him. I felt extremely safe and he would make sure you step to the side to avoid bikers. He also checked for snakes when I wanted pictures in certain areas. Thank you Paul!
