Customer Focus Keeps Travel Firms on Course

While many travel companies are purging the little extras to stay afloat, Austin-Lehman Adventures in Evanston has taken the opposite tack--upgrading many of its offerings to customers and employees alike.

Written and photographed by Mary L. Peachin
The switchbacks of the trail, edged by Western sword fern, rose steeply through the second-growth forest of western red cedar and Douglas fir. After we'd hiked a mile or so, the treeline ended at the thousand-foot summit of Mt. Galiano. The 360-degree view—scattered islands beyond the lush shore—was stunning. Not far from the summit, we could see scattered remnants of a 25-year-old airplane crash. Later that afternoon, I lounged in my room at the Woodstone Country Inn, watching black-tailed deer munch the pastoral fields outside my window, just beyond the fragrant gardens of purple California lilacs and golden poppies.
It was just another spectacular day on an Austin-Lehman Adventures, a six-day hiking, bicycling, and kayaking trip to Galiano, S ....
