Traveler reviews
July 2026 visit - first National park.
Perfect way to explore on a really hot July day with family who aren’t as eager to hike as I am. Enjoyed travelling between key spots with stops to enjoy and take small “hikes” without pressure to find parking or complete a long trail. It’s a little pricey but for the convenience and wealth of information provided by a local who’s lived here his whole life and raised kids here, it felt worth it for a small splurge.
