Real feedback from people who joined this experience.
This was a great tour! I enjoyed having a combination of lecture & outdoor observations. It was enjoyable to meet different people from different areas. The presenter was really knowledgeable & entertaining. The organizer was friendly & kept everything on track. I look forward to attending more 2nd Summit events.
It was very informative and fun. Since the tour included other people, it would have been nice to have a chance to introduce everyone with 2nd Summit. I live in northern Colorado and appreciated an experience a little closer to home.
