Privately Guided Full Day Hike

Overview

Choose your own adventure! You pick the distance (6-10 miles on average), terrain, scenery, and difficulty for a spectacular day in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Abundant waterfalls, the highest peaks east of the Mississippi, and the prettiest views you'll find in the South are all at your disposal off the Blue Ridge Parkway, on the Appalachian Trail, or hidden deep Pisgah National Forest.

Price includes your guide and a picnic lunch; please specify dietary restrictions when booking. Trekking poles are provided upon request. Transportation is not included, but can be added for an additional fee (depending on availability).

We hike rain or shine! We will cancel the hike in the event of dangerous weather.

Blue Ridge Hiking Company has been in business for 13 years; we believe the trail is there for everyone at every phase of life. All guides are certified in Wilderness First Aid and CPR, and knowledgeable in local history, flora, and fauna. Check out our website for more information!

My husband and I had the most amazing experience hiking the Blue Ridge Mountain trail up to the Alum Cave Bluff with our wonderful guide Bev. It was a challenging hike but with Bev’s knowledge of the trail and great conversation it didn’t seem as difficult as it probably was. So many beautiful vistas of the surround mountains and valleys, lush rhododendron stands, boulder field streams, natural bridges and archways. The leaves were just beginning to show color. I highly recommend the Blue Ridge Hiking Company and our guide, Bev, for any guided walking tour in the area!

This is our second series of trips with Blue Ridge Hiking. We did two full day hikes, and 1/2 day hike. Mel was our guide for all three. The logistics up until we arrived at BRHC were great. The company is very transparent and sent out great questions in order to plan our hikes. We had Mel as our guide for all three days. Everything Mel had planned was great. She was very flexible about what we wanted to do. The scenery, of course, was gorgeous. We took a lot of great pictures. Every lunch was great and we appreciated that charcuterie board on our half day hike. Can’t say enough good stuff about our guide. She was perfect!
