Even with the snowstorm around the weather is so fast changing that it clears and if it doesn't, then the tour guide kindly stops on the way back and you can have your second shot at a great photo capture. Highly recommend it!”

Upon arrive, Marianne came out, greeted us and got us to the car and off we went. Marianne is very passionate about this location as she grew up in the area and is well versed in all there is to know and see here. Marianne is also very passionate about photography and offered several tips/tricks on the iPhone (due to rain, camera of choice) of which I will remember and have already used since that tour! Nature being nature, the wildlife was hunkered…”
