Sara was attentive, knowledgeable, extremely kind, and has a killer music playlist. On the glacier hike specifically, she gave clear instructions, reviewed safety guidelines thoroughly, and made sure everyone was wicked comfortable. I wish I had her as my guide for all my excursions. The HIGHLIGHT was it was my birthday and she kindly surprised me with a slice of cake along the way. So unexpected, but so grateful. I was really appreciative of that. HIGHLY recommend SARA!!!”
