When we arrived at our trail, we were disappointed to see that the weather was foggy, rainy, and windy. But Brandon saved the day! She suggested an excellent back-up plan to drive down the mountain where the weather would be nicer and more comfortable for us to hike and do yoga. It was much warmer at the new trail and there wasn’t anymore fog! Thanks to Brandon’s suggestion, we were able to hike enjoyably and she found a spot for us to do yoga.

And again, I had an awesome time. Thank you and continued success and I hope I will be back. Maybe this summer and maybe some family members with me. Everything was great. Everything was lovely, relaxing. Just what I needed. Thank you. Have a good evening, bye-bye.”
