A Challenging Hike with an Amazing Payoff - We had such an amazing experience on our guided family hike with Jeff! What made this hike so special was that it wasn’t your typical, crowded hiking trail—it wasn’t even a named trail—and we were the only ones out there. It felt like we were discovering a hidden gem all to ourselves.
The hike was definitely challenging, but Jeff was fantastic about taking plenty of breaks along the way. Those breaks actually became one of the best parts because Jeff used the time to teach us about the plants, rocks, and wildlife we were seeing. We learned so much and really got to appreciate the landscape in a whole new way.
The highlight was reaching the summit, where we got to record our names in the registry. And then came the BIG bonus—we got to see the locations where scenes from Top Gun: Maverick were filmed. Soooo cool! 🎬🏔️
Jeff was knowledgeable, patient, and made the experience fun for the whole family. We would absolutely recommend this hike to anyone looking for something unique, adventurous, and way more memorable than a typical trail hike!

Moderate hike and private swim on Fallen Leaf lake - The hike with Trent was nothing short of amazing! We felt really good about his knowledge of the area and felt very comfortable and safe with him on the trail. The swim in the lake at a secluded spot was phenomenal!

Conquering the Twin Peaks - Amazing experience, worried it will be a hard climb to Twin peaks but our guide was helpful in giving us time to recover then push up again to reach the top. We’re are so happy and glad we conquered the Twin Peaks. Length of tour is just enough going up and down.

Say YES to hard things - Amazing experience with our guide Trent who was super helpful and gave me the encouragement to get out of my head and just trust in my ability to follow his lead. I am 54 active...but don't climb and I did fine. I went with my adult boys in their 20s who did amazing. I wore regular workout shoes and my son wore cowboy boots and we ere fine. The view was spectacular. Highly recommend. It was daunting at 1st and had to take a couple of catch my breath breaks and take one step at a time and made it. What seemed impossible was made possible, by a mindset shift and Trents support. Be sure to tip him after with Venmo or a Cash App, it's well worth it.
