Katie was an incredible guide as we attempted to do Via Ferrata. Sadly, one of our group members has a pretty paralyzing fear of heights and wasn t able to conquer it, but Katie was so accepting and understanding and took us back down the mountain. Instead of simply saying goodbye (since our payment was non-refundable), she offered to take us rock climbing in Ouray instead, which we gladly took her up on. We had a blast. She is super safe and knowledgeable and we felt very comfortable with her. Most importantly to us, Katie knew we were doing our hike in memory of one of our friends who passed away a year ago, and she had a local Ouray glass blower make us a keepsake in his memory. We were blown away with her kindness. For her to do something like that for people she had never met was incredibly touching. Thank you Katie, I feel like we ve known you for years after just spending one afternoon with you. Would highly recommend Katie and San Juan Mountain Guides!
