Drop off and pick up...
Drop off and pick up points are not the same. There is no guided tour as part of the experience. Limited amount of time on site. It would have been very helpful to have a trail map given to us upon arrival so we could make the best use of our time.

Majestic scenery
The driver had a deep knowledge of the area and even helped us to navigate to our next destination. The mountains were beautiful quite windy the day we went but all in all had a great time.
