“Such an amazing experience! I am so glad we did this. My husband and I are maybe 6/10 fitness, slightly better than average I’d say and I’m afraid of heights, so I was nervous. But, we were lucky and got Lynette as our guide, the owner (though I think she takes care in finding good guides). She helped encourage us along the way and I’m not sure I would’ve done the end part without her. Amazing views! 360 all the way around and you get the city lights before sunrise then sunrise and even better views all the way down! One of the best hikes we have ever done!”
