Day Hike Descriptions

Where do we hike?
We hike all over Western North Carolina!  We can plan hikes that feature waterfalls, mountain summits, forest paths, seasonal wildflowers and fall leaves, almost anything you can think of!  We hike in Pigah National Forest, Great Smoky Mountains National Forest, the Appalachian Trail, off the Blue Ridge Parkway, Mount Mitchell State Park, Dupont State Forest, and more.  All of our hikes require a drive from our downtown Asheville location.  Drive times range from 30 minutes to just over an hour.  Want to hike in a specific place or check out a particular trail?  Ask us about it and we'll do our best to take you there!

Our Private Day Hikes are designed to be customizable!  We'll ask about your needs, what you hope to experience, and the ideal distance and difficulty for your hike, and plan something just for you!
