I've done all the trails and they're wonderful (though Tumbling Waters is definitely more challenging than one would expect, haha). I recently did a night hike and it was SO MUCH FUN. Our group was very small and by the end of it, it was just the tour guide and me, which I actually kind of preferred (reminded me of just walking around nature with random friends throughout the years).

Read morePEEC was so much fun! We went as a school trip enjoyed your trip. The Yurt it's very very nice and cozy. And the people at PEEC were very kind and helpful to us. The hikes were very challenging but they were a lot of fun too. I would really like to come back one day. The staff is amazing and very kind .

Peak was very organized and make sure we put everything where it was supposed to go plate switch plates cups and cups and compost where it is supposed to go. It taught me to be more dinner and I like saying the recyclable plastic. Thank you Carrean and Alexa for helping us on our hike we had...
