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!

I am not sure where to begin!??! From the planning, to the re-planning (due to COVID - our issue not BR!), executing, and pivoting to avoid rain, Blue Ridge Hiking is the best! Lindsey and Melissa, our guides, were true professionals - they thought of everything. Our group consisted of 13 women of varying abilities and comfort and they made it ALL work. This is our second time using them and I wouldn't hire anyone else to guide us. In addition to their ability to guide and educate, they are interesting, smart women who meshed with our group. We will recommend and hire them again and again!

What a great morning hike. Our guide Lauren looked great on paper and was even more experienced in person. We got to the park before most hikers and left as it was starting to get too busy. Lauren tailored our hike to our interests, which were to see the waterfalls up close and personal. And we did, but under Lauren's watch! She was so knowledgeable and we learned more about the forest than we could on our own. And we had so much to talk about. She regaled us with stories of her completing the Appalachian Trial. Next time we hike the Blue Ridge or AT with Lauren. If you want a great guide, ask for Lauren!!

We had a delightful morning of hiking in Dupont State Park. Our guide, Lauren, was so knowledgeable & fun to be with. The park was beautiful on its own, but Lauren was able to provide us with the history of the park & current projects. But best of all, she pointed out & gave us the names of all the plants we saw, including a wide variety of wild mushrooms. It was interesting to learn of her adventures hiking the Appalachian Trail & her work as a wild land fire fighter participating in controlled burns & responding to forest fires. Her enthusiasm really made for a perfect visit. We strongly encourage you to book Lauren for a guided hike if you see she's available--you won't be disappointed!
