Loved this hike after riding up to the Blue Ridge Parkway with our guide. Beautiful landscape, reasonable hike for beginners, very enjoyable.

We enjoyed a carefree beautiful 5 mile hike with Asheville Adventures that was a perfect level for my 9-year old son and a great way to kick off our visit to Asheville. We had door to door service from our rental cabin to the trail head and were guided by the super friendly and knowledgeable trail guide, Brian. Asheville Adventures provided snacks and water and took the stress out of trying to select a well-suited hike.

What a wonderful tour of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Our driver Brian was very flexible to our wishes. We could not have asked for a better day or diver. I highly recommend this tour when visiting Asheville NC
