My husband and I had a private tour of this site with Edwin. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and nice. The views are amazing and we took so many photos. This place is so remote and cool. glad we made the trek. Definitely recommend coming here. For what it’s worth, we are in our 60’s and did this hike the day after we did Rainbow mountain.
Very nice everything and we recommend the guide Saul who attended us very well and with a great sense of humor.
