If you anticipate wet conditions, I highly recommend bringing gloves to protect your hands when using the chains to help climb up (though we didn’t need them since the trail was dry). Our guide, Sean, was fantastic! He was friendly, provided us with plenty of information, and he is really passionate about hiking. I highly recommend this tour!”
