We will take many walks to hidden waterfalls, secluded lakes, scenic vistas, hidden geysers, mud pots, hot springs, and view lots of wildlife. On this tour we will put your group in the best position to safely view wildlife. For lunch we will stop at a secluded and scenic location for a provided picnic style lunch from a local bakery.
