Trail to Tavern???
offered ???
Asheville is famous for it's proximity to outdoor recreation (there are over 1,000 miles of trail within an hour drive of Asheville) and for it's beer (Asheville has more breweries per capita than any other city in the US). Experience both on this full-day adventure! Start your day with a Half Day Hike to one of our favorite hikes, then enjoy a picnic lunch and head to Beer City's best breweries for the afternoon. Your guide will work with you to select a hike and a brewery (or breweries) that suit your groups' interests and abilities.
This trip is perfect for a guy/gal weekend, bachelor/bachelorette trip, family reunion, or corporate team building event.

and the guide provided a perfect balance of instruction and challenge" - S.B., Private Backpacking Trip, October 2019
