The 2 tour guides were very nice a woman and a gentleman. His story telling was much better, a bit tighter while she tended to run on a bit and tread away from the meat and potatoes of her story.

My family has been making annual fall trips to MV for the past decade when last year one of my aunt's found out about the evening walk. There are generally 20-25 of us ranging in age from 2-70 years old on the trip and we love to find something for all of us to do together. This walk was super... More
