"Amber was a fantastic teacher. I am a total beginner but she made me feel confident from the start. Such a lovely and kind human she is. Lance was also amazing! He was so welcoming and also gave me the confidence to make at least half of the hike with this old broken body. Their children Panda and Maple were the sweetest kiddos ever. The group we had was a fantastic mix of people from all over the country. Made some very special friends. Thank you so much Amber and Lance for a very special 5 days that have really encouraged me to stretch my body and mind. Thank you both and I will see you again, probably in Arizona."
