The suspension bridge over Lynn’s falls was spectacular. The homemade treats at halfway gave us all the energy for the return trip. You couldn’t meet a nicer guide that loves what he does. Allow 4-5 hours for the 1/2 day. Mid range fitness is required as there are a lot of steps. Thank you, Adrian. What a wonderful day” - Reviewed at 2025-01-15
