Jarrett led us on a perfect 10+ mile Wild Basin hike to Ouzel Lake. As promised it was just the right degree of challenging. Spectacular views. We had a fun time. We highly recommend Jarrett.

Our guided hike was breathtaking, literally and physically. We committed to a 6 hr hike and had an excellent guide in Derald DeYoung. He brought us to some spectacular places and challenged us during our 7.5 miles of hiking, but made certain of our capabilities. I highly recommended a guided hike when you only have a day in the park. They’ll make certain you see the iconic spots.
