Etiquette:
We share these beautiful spaces with many people. We want to be sure we minimize our impact with appropriate behavior. This includes keeping our belongings tidy at the rock cliff, not littering (from orange peels to wrappers to cigarette butts: please no smoking), leaving the pets at home with a dog sitter, not playing music, and using appropriate (encouraging psych!) language.
Tips:
While not required, tips are encouraged. If you feel your guide met or exceeded your expectations, a tip is greatly appreciated. This is in a similar light to any service industry job: 15-20% is standard.
