I first tried The Savvy Hiker last summer for a group adventure in Lost Creek Wilderness. It turned out to be such a great success that my friends and I were anxious to get out again this summer for another destination we were interested in, hoping it would be equally as fun as the last. We chose Apache Falls, a tall glorious waterfall in a remote part of southern Colorado. Since we had such a good chemistry with our Savvy Hiker guide last year, we chose to hire them again for this trip. Knowing this hike had different elements than last years Lost Creek adventure, we figured it best to find out what kind of preparation would best for success. Jessica Martin our guide, once again nailed it. Building on what she taught us on the last hike, we were able to use that knowledge and gain a little more with a different environment and different time frame. We did a 2 day, one night hike and hit our destination comfortably even though there were some more challenging issues related on where to camp due to more lush thick forest, undeveloped trails, and unforgiving terrain. After being nervous at the beginning that this would be too difficult, I had to write another review about how pleased I was that we all had a great fun filled hike with all the stories and laughs once again, and a feeling of conquest of a feature not many see. Now, I feel confident to up the stakes next year and keep the tradition and growth of knowledge going for what might be the best hike yet. read more
