Q&A

Q: What’s the age limit for this hike? Can my 8-year-old join?

A: Kids can definitely join this hike! Usually, children aged 8 and up are fine, but it depends on their hiking experience. The trail can get a bit steep in some areas, so it's good if they’re used to walking for a couple of hours. Just make sure they have sturdy shoes and are ready to enjoy some beautiful views!

Q: With the weather being unpredictable, what happens if it rains?

A: If the weather turns bad, the hike can be rescheduled, which is great! They provide rain ponchos, so you won't get completely soaked if it’s just a light drizzle. However, if it's a serious storm, they prioritize safety and will work with you to find another day.

Q: Is there an option for vegetarian or gluten-free lunch?

A: Yes! Just let them know about any dietary restrictions at least 24 hours in advance. They can accommodate vegetarian and gluten-free options for lunch, so you won’t miss out on a great meal even if you have specific needs.

Just booked the Private Hike to Emerald Lake!

I’m so excited! Took a chance and booked this hike for a surprise anniversary gift for my partner. The views sound amazing, and I love that they provide lunch and snacks. I've heard the trail is beautiful, especially the lakes! Any tips for first-timers? I want to make sure we enjoy every bit of it.

Did the hike last weekend, and wow!

I just came back from the Private Hike to Emerald Lake, and it was stunning! The wildflowers were out, and the lakes were crystal clear. Our guide was super knowledgeable about the area too. The packed lunch was delicious. I definitely recommend it for any nature lover! Just be prepared for some uphill stretches.
