Carole led a hike to the Robertson Cliffs for myself, family and friends and we had a wonderful time! She is the consummate tour guide and offered us interesting insights into the making of the Voyageur Trail and the great work of the Algoma Land Conservancy. I look forward to hiking with her again next year, perhaps in Lake Superior Provincial Park. Thanks Carole! Five star. I recommend her tours highly. Outstanding guide!
