Trip departs from Blue Ridge Hiking Company's downtown location
Description
Spend the evening with us as we chase a beautiful sunset! We'll travel to a west-facing peak close to town for a short hike before settling in to watch the sunset. Afterward, we'll hike back to the trailhead in the dark. Hikers choose between a 3-mile easy to moderate hike, or a 2-mile moderate to challenging hike, both are within a 30 minute drive from downtown Asheville. With a little luck, you'll catch the sunset of your dreams!
Hike will meet our office in downtown Asheville, and will last approximately 4-5 hours including transportation time. Snacks are included, but transportation is not (it can be added for an additional fee). Headlamps are provided to all hikers to use during the hike.
We hike rain or shine! Hikers should arrive prepared for all weather conditions and pack a rain jacket, an extra warm layer, and water. We may cancel or reschedule your hike in the event of severe or dangerous weather conditions.

My guide Anna tailored...
My guide Anna tailored the hike to my preferences and capabilities. In addition to showing me a few very scenic views before the actual hike, she shared relevant history and made it more interesting. The views were fantastic! She provided a wonderful picnic at our destination, was friendly and made sure I enjoyed the experience. I highly recommend this experience.

Highlight of Asheville vacation
My family booked a private sunset hike with Jenna as our guide. It was the highlight of our trip to Asheville as she came prepared with headlamps and good conversation. We snacked on some of locally made popcorn and hummus and caught a gorgeous sunset. We will be back to Asheville and book with the company again.
Operator response
Thank you for coming out with us! It is a pleasure to share the beauty of WNC with our guests. Happy Trails and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Sunset Hike of Asheville
Eli took us on a wonderful hike to a beautiful spot above the tree line. It had been a rainy day but we lucked out and it was only drizzling when we went out. The views were still spectacular and we had such a good time talking with Eli about Asheville and the area. Highly recommend!!

Amazing private hike with Tamera!
We visited on an unseasonably cold weekend in November, but Tamera still showed us some amazing spots that were perfect for us as first-time hikers! I’m so incredibly happy with the hikes that we had, and she was so flexible for us since we were very new to hiking. I would do this again in a heartbeat! I highly recommend Tamera as your guide. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about the area and had so many interesting facts to share. Thank you so much for making our trip to Asheville so memorable!!
