We all strongly recommend you consider this outing. This views are beautiful and for adventurers the trails were a ton of fun. The 5th member of our family is less adventurous, and is a female in her 50s and is not an athlete so struggled pretty significantly on the difficult hills, as the eBike alone even in turbo mode requires a bit of effort.”
