For 30 years, ROW Adventures has offered guided trips, beginning with whitewater rafting expeditions on the rivers of the Inland Northwest and evolving into a wide range of outdoor experiences worldwide. Now the Coeur d’Alene company would like to bring that expertise home and offer guided interpretive walking tours of the city’s crown jewel — Tubbs Hill. ROW is proposing two trips daily accommodating up to 14 guests. The fee would be about $25 per person and a variation would include walking around the hill in one direction and kayaking back across Lake Coeur d’Alene.

Question: Would you pay $25 for a guided tour of Tubbs Hill?
