About Asheville Adventures

My family heading up Mount Pisgah in the early 2000's
(I'm on the far left)
I started Asheville Adventures to allow other people to experience what I call home. Growing up in this city, in these mountains, has been pure joy. And I want others to encounter that joy. For me, life in Asheville has always been defined by adventure. I mean, I was still in diapers the first time I went to Mount Pisgah (one of my family's favorite hikes). The hikes, the camping trips, the animal encounters, the wild blackberries, the hundreds of waterfalls... all of this is what I want to share with people.
​
So that's what we do. We allow people to see the best parts of Western North Carolina. Whether that be hiking 2 miles to hidden waterfalls, or hiking 10 miles on some of the tallest peaks around. We customize our trips to fit you and give you the best
adventure in Asheville.
​
In short, it's about you. I am just the guide.

We absolutely loved our first time ever hiking adventure. Clayton was great! He took us to see beautiful waterfalls and gorgeous mountain views. We went with my Mom who, last year, had a very bad back injury. The hike was very moderate for her and Clayton was very conscious and caring throughout. We had a wonderful time and we can't wait to go back and do the Peak-to-Peak Mountain Top Hike.

Ivana took myself and my 2 daughters, 18 and 11 for a private waterfall tour. My youngest who isn’t super athletic or into the outdoors ended up loving this experience! I was worried she would get tired easily and would be afraid (nature scares her) but Ivana was so sweet and worked at our pace. She pointed out little things on the trail which was nice. My daughter wouldn’t get near the first waterfall we saw but by the end, she was getting up close and personal with everything Ivana wanted to show us! Beautiful morning!

I had an amazing run with Brian! We covered a little bit of trail, some neighborhood gardens, and some local’s favorite cafes & restaurants.
He kept a perfect pace for me and the conversation was great as well.
I highly recommend him!
