The guide is eager to share the story behind each spring and waterfall, making each stop educational as well as scenic.

Descriptions from other travelers echo this sentiment: “We loved the way we could stop at places that most travelers miss, with no crowds in sight,” one remarked. These spots are perfect for those who seek authentic, less commercialized experiences.
