Can't beat this experience - A perfect day, thanks to good communication before the hike, car pickup at my hotel, a very robust and diverse lunch box, but most of all my terrific guide Roman. Staff often makes the day with successful adventures, and he certainly did. Note: even if you’re a good hiker, be prepared for the breathless impact of the elevation. A great adventure!
