Castle Parks hiking view
"I went with my nieces on a guided hike up to Southfork Lakes with Uplift Adventures. It was truly amazing. Julie was so wonderful. We talked about the plants along the trail, she helped us navigate down the trail - this was the first hike I've done scree on a hike and was apprehensive coming down (it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be), she offered assistance to tape up bad ankles and knees, gave us mental support on the hike, I just can't say enough. The hike itself was challenging for me which is what I wanted. I was able to create memories with my nieces which was the point of the trip. The views were spectacular. We had lunch at the first lake, the lunch provided was tasty and satisfying - lots of food. I am looking forward to more adventures with Uplift."
