Sign-Up Details:

Sunset hikes are available on Thursdays in July and August.  To sign up, go to our Day Hikes Calendar and select your desired trip date.

Please give us a call (828-713-5451) if you would like to arrange a Sunset Hike on another date or with a larger group.

Itinerary:

You will meet your guide at our downtown location (70 College St, Asheville, NC 28801).  Hike start time will be between 5pm and 6pm, depending on sunset time and the length of hike chosen.  Your guide will arrange the hike start time with a couple days before your hike.

You will fill out a waiver and health form, then follow your guide to the trailhead.  We have a couple of itineraries available, both of which go to west-facing rock outcroppings.  Itineraties range in difficulty from easy/moderate to strenuous, and range in distance from 1.5 miles to 5 miles.  We will begin hiking during daylight and finish hiking in the dark, so participants should have some level of comfort on trail.  We include a headlamp for each person to use during the hike.

This trip's itinerary may change if we are expecting rain. Remember, we do not control the weather, so we cannot guarantee that we'll have a great sunset.  But we can promise a great hike!

Cancellation Policy:

Payment in full is required to register, which includes a 15% non-refundable administrative fee. Refunds (minus the 15%) can be issued until one week prior to departure date. Until one week prior to departure, you may transfer your registration to a different date for full credit.

Within one week, a refund will be issued only if Blue Ridge Hiking Company cancels the hike due to severe weather. Remember, we hike rain or shine! 


What to Bring:

Please wear comfortable shoes and clothing, and bring a rain jacket and an extra layer for warmth.  We recommend each guest brings at least 1 liter of water and an extra warm layer incase temperatures get cool after sunset.  You are responsible for any medications or personal items needed during the hike.

Your guide will provide snacks and a headlamp for you to use during the hike.

If your guide does an exceptional job, please show your appreciation with a tip.
