4 years agoGreat Hiking Experience!!
The Wildland Trekking Team continued to do an excellent job leading me on my solo Maiden Peak hike. The reason why I arrange solo hikes because of the personal interaction with the guides. This allows them to focus on the areas that I like to explore and at a pace that fits my physical capabilities. Mike was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Would recommend Mike and the Wildland Trekking Team to all those interested in a great hiking experience!!
