Merritt to Whistler Cycle Tour

Barbara "...I am still on a high...I never dreamed that I would be able to physically accomplish the difficult segments of both hikes.  So I am very encouraged and challenged to keep up with all the training that I have been doing...but I also know that I would never have attempted those sections if had not experienced your skill, teaching and leadership previously.  I was really quite frightened at a couple of times, but your calm, encouraging and knowledgeable guidance helped me to dig deep and pursue that next step.  So, I am most grateful that you so willingly share your gifts of teaching and your passion for the great outdoor adventures.  Thank you."

Revelstoke to Creston Cycle Tour

"I am unabashedly one of Barb McIntyre's biggest fans! I had my first hiking experience with Barb in 1996 on the West Coast Trail. Since that time I have hired her for many day hike experiences plus had her guide a group of friends through the Grand Canyon and had her "cater" the meals for a group trip to Berg Lake. Barb pays attention to every detail and client comfort and satisfaction is her highest priority. I have told Barb many times that I eat better on one of her trips than I do at my favorite restaurants (or at home)! Barb also has the training and the experience to keep me safe while ensuring that I get the most from my outdoor experience. She is warm, caring, intuitive, has an obvious love and appreciation for nature and is knowledgeable - everything one could possibly want in an outdoor guide!"

“ I have just returned from the Revelstoke to Creston cycle tour and I wanted to let you know what a great trip it was. Thanks mainly to our hosts/guides Richard and Barb, the trip was well organized and a whole lot of fun. The accommodations along the way were great and the meals that Barb & Richard prepared were wonderful. Hats off to Barb & Richard for a great job and making this trip one of the most enjoyable and memorable that I have had.”
