“The hike was stunning, the weather was on our side and Adrian our host planned a route that was tailored to what we wanted from out hike. We came across a beer along the way, and Adrian was great at keeping us calm and giving us space between the bear to watch this amazing animal being in their natural habitat. We spent a full day exploring and we got to visit two peaks. All the colours from the trees were at the beggining of changing colour so we got so many beautiful pictures along the way.”
