"Thank you so much for the warm and welcoming hike! I truly enjoyed my time at Panther. You made the whole experience possible and enjoyable. I was a bit nervous at first, especially since Balsam was my first 3500 hike just a week before Panther. I had heard Panther was a longer and more challenging trail, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. But after hearing so many great things about you from my hiking buddies, I’m so glad I chose to hike with you. You’re an amazing leader—attentive, thoughtful, and always mindful of the group's well-being. I felt safe the entire time, and instead of viewing the hike as a tough workout, I was able to appreciate it as a truly enjoyable experience. Thank you again for everything! I’m really looking forward to our next adventure. :)."
