“The ride was long but broken up into several stops for pictures and educational purposes. We chose to bike in the first group and then ride back on the bus after the bike/hike. Megs, our tour guide was awesome and so sweet and talkative! The e-bikes were easy to use and quite powerful. I think taking this tour was a great way to see a lot of territory in a short amount of time. We packed snacks but didn’t eat anything u til on the van riding back so don’t stress about bro going enough food/snacks.”
