It was hard physical exertion in some places as we hiked up and down the mountain trails, and, in some instances, forged our own trail! Our guide knew just when to slow down or stop to let us rest and to point out some interesting sights in nature. He gave us helpful hints on navigating some unique terrain, offering to assist us as necessary.…”
