Today’s hike was the best — and most challenging — I’ve ever been on. My feet have blisters, my back hurts, every muscle in my body aches, and I’ve consumed four liters of water. But I had a great time! I was impressed with Richard’s leadership and professionalism and I quite liked everyone on the hike. Looking forward to joining you again. — Eric
