What people are saying

Steve Hill an amazing person and new friend took me on a sunset hike on the Quartz Ridge Trail #8a. The views were spectacular especially as the sun sets. Steve is very knowledgeable of the terrain and in hiking you would be in great hands. I strongly recommend Steve if you are looking for a guided hike.
