Super Short Hikes with Great Views
We offer a few hikes that are super short just 1 hour round trip with a 20-30 minute break on the top for snacks and photo taking. These hikes are ideal early morning trips or sunset hikes. For sunrise and sunset hikes, we require headlamps just in case for safety (available for rent). Hikes are chosen based on where you are staying or coming from to minimize travel time.

Do you offer refunds?
If for any reason you can not make the hike, we offer full refunds up to 48 hours prior to the hike, as we are a small operation, we can offer a full credit for cancelations within 48 hours or a full credit of the funds or a 50% refund for individuals or 75% refund for groups. This covers the loss of time for planning and lost revenue as we hold that hike time and date for a limited number of people.

If I don’t have all the clothes on the list provided in the confirmation email what do I do?
