Matt is a very informative guide who has a great deal of knowledge about the edible, medicinal, and herbal qualities of the plants of the Rainforest. He has extensive knowledge of the geologic and historical importance of the Rainforest and Olympic National Park. Visiting the forest at the end of December limited our opportunities to see much in the way of fauna(not one slug was seen), but on a sunny and crisp morning walk, we saw many 400 year old forest giants, identified many understory plants, and uncovered several different mushrooms. At a different time of year, when plants and animals aren't in a more or less dormant state, I'm sure Matt could have filled us in on so much more.
Matt was very considerate of our needs and mobility and served us herbal tea and delicious home-made pumpkin bread at the end of our excursion. All-in-all, a tour worthy of our time and his. Thanks, Matt
