My family of four (parents and 2 teens ages 13 and 15) went on a half day hike of the Hermit Trail with Owen and had a fantastic time. Owen is both incredibly knowledgeable and personable.
My son had a blast with him finding fossils in the rocks and keeping up with him on the hike, and the adults enjoyed learning more about the trail's history, the plant and animal life and also sorts of facts about the canyon. Four Seasons was a pleasure to work with, they helped us decide which trail to hike and were exceptional in bringing a special lunch and snacks for our pickier kid. My kids were very excited to have hiking poles and the adults were very happy to have them as they make the hike much more enjoyable. My kids generally do not love to hike but having Owen as a guide changed the whole experience and all four of us had a blast. I would highly recommend Four Seasons, with any luck one day we'll do a multi-day hiking trip with them sometime in the future.
