A very special hike - Finally we decided to do this private 1/2 day hike in June. It was the perfect weather. Our guide Adam, got in touch with us a couple of days prior to the hike date to check our hiking level, what are we looking to see or experience in this hike, if we have any issues medical or otherwise that he needs to know about , any specific snacks we want and so on, so that he can curate the hiking route to fit our expectations. I have to say, the hike and the guide more than met our expectations, the route was amazing, close to 5 miles in the blue ridge at 6000 elevation. Adam was so considerate to the fact that I have issues driving on the parkway and also considerate to our hiking level. He was super knowledgeable about the history of the area as well as the diverse plants and trees that we encountered. I highly recommend the company and Adam in particular.

Birthday Hike - As a 56th birthday present from a dear friend, I was gifted a 1/2 day private guided group hike. Bev MacDowell was our perfect guide. She communicated clearly with our group prior to our hike about where and when to meet and what to bring. She listened to our requests for the day and planned the perfect outing for us complete with lunch, snacks, extra water, and even birthday cake! My friends and I loved everything about our day together in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Book a hike or backpacking trip for yourself with this professional company, you won’t regret it!
