Frequently Asked Questions
|
How strenuous will it be?
Is it still on if it is raining? What should one bring? If I need to leave early is that ok? |
The walks are not strenuous at all. We cover a maximum of about 3/4 miles, often less, over a period of two to three hours, on easy trail.
The walk will still be on if it's raining, unless it is a really big downpour or violent storm. If it is raining it's important to have a waterproof shell including pants, and many people bring umbrellas also. Rain often enhances sensory experience and makes for some of our most memorable walks. We suggest bringing a snack or light lunch and water bottle, or if the day is cold you might want to consider bringing a thermos with a hot drink. People do sometimes leave early, just let your guide know when you are leaving. |
