    The day we drove across the border from Canada into the US. It was a busy day but superb, from the walk to a viewpoint over Lake Willoughby to the trip up the cable car, Flume Gorge and a final drive along the Kancamangus Highway, it was epic!

    Great trip & guide Anthony. Saw twice as much in half the time that I could do myself. Perfectly timed for sunrise & sunset views. Optimal site to view eclipse, accompanied by 2 astronomers & 2 telescopes. Enjoyed the optional helicopter ride over Grand Canyon.

    Good trip, great leader, nice hotels. My only complaint, and one I have made before, is that the hikes were totally inadequately described. Saying a hike is 5k and omitting to mention that there is a 800 ft elevation gain is not only useless, it is misleading.
