The scenery was breath taking and the guide was knowledgeable. I am a novice and this was above my fitness level. However, with the guidance provided, I did finish the return up hill ride. Part way back, my legs gave out from fatigue and when I stopped to walk up hill, I fell over. I was not injured except for some scratches.
