The nature hike and photography was my favorite part. Light hiking in nature and there are lots of stairs but it was nice to see a different part of the city than just downtown. Took some excellent pictures and Nafees showed me pictures settings on my IPhone that I had no idea it had. Highly recommend booking!!”
