What our guests say…

“Aside from breathtaking views of the area and of a variety of animals, our tour guide, George Scott was outstanding! As a retired sheep and deer “farmer” himself, his knowledge of the local farming was phenomenal, not to mention how patient he was with our photography requests for stops. Tea at the top of the mountain will be forever etched in our minds! As a world traveler, I can honestly say this one was an extraordinary experience. Our thanks to Ridgeline and to George!”
