The tour today was quite an exercise in “rock hopping” or “bouldering”. We did not know what we were getting into, but we wanted to get a good “experience”. Our guide was not a park ranger or a “for hire” tour operator, just an individual who loves the area and volunteers to take visitors like us into the inner trails of the park.
