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.
Thanks so much for your kind words. We're so glad you enjoyed your experience.
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.
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.
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!!
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!!
