This was a great activity and the guides were wonderful. The valley is beautiful and going through it on horseback let you get right in and out without the long and exhausting hike. The guides were really great to as they gave you lots of photo ops and took plenty of pictures on your own cameras. I highly recommend this tour.

The ride down 1000' in 3/4 was exciting. I have seen the valley on previous trips and looked forward to this adventure.
