The only con is I wish we had even more time in Mt. Field! Every part of this day was absolutely wonderful. I had Darren as my guide, who was extremely knowledgeable! He even gave me the option to do some more hikes around the area. And I was surprised by how much I enjoyed feeding the fish at the salmon pond. Overall I highly recommend!
