John our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about the location, history and facts of this tour. It was very enjoyable, and our group happened to be small, so we had a more personal experience and probably got to see a few things that others would not. It was really great to learn about the history of the Shepherd of the Hills, and we all bought the book too!

Catfish was our guide. He made the tour most interesting with his encyclopedic information and vast array of experiences. My favorite parts were investigating the old post office and cabin with the numerous gadgets and furniture.

The guide, Emily, was excellent. The scenery was beautiful. I would recommend familiarizing yourself with the story of The Shepherd of the Hills as this would make the tour more meaningful. Overall fun experience

Uncle Matt’s cabin and the marvelous view are well worth the visit. It’s also historically informational

This was a wonderful trip back in time to the settling of this area, and the people and events involved. Our tour guide, John Fullerton, could not have been more personable and interesting.
