Alan was a terrific guide! He made sure I got great pictures of the sunset. He gave a lot of information about the history, animals and vegetation. The weather was perfect. It did a little chilly, around 60 degrees when the sun went down, so I would advise to take a jacket if visiting in the winter. A great experience!
