This was one of the best tours I have ever taken! It was a cold and wet day, but we all had the best time ever. Our guide, Christina, was very knowledgeable and kept us interested during the entire tour. Even though it was 20+ degrees at Red Rock, we were not disappointed. We got some great pics and well needed exercise. Little did we know that the best was yet to come. Echo Lake was the perfect photo spot! We took some beautiful pictures in the snow on the lake. We are so glad we booked this tour.

The tour guide was insightful and offered a connection through conversation rather than just listing historical facts.
