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!

We had a stellar hike with Lexie. She was prepared, professional and a lot of fun to hike with. She recommended the perfect hike based on our request and she was excited to answer all our random questions and frequent stops to check out the flora. It was a lot of fun, great company and very easy to book. Highly recommended.

Lauren Smucker was such a great guide. It was a pleasure taking the planning out of putting together a hike. She arrived at my hotel. I followed Lauren to the park and off we went with my two dogs. The pace was perfect. The rest and views were just enough time. Never felt hurried nor needing to move faster. The tidbits of information were so fun. It was nice knowing she had a first aid kit packed which she was able to use on another hiker who fell in front of us. Some may be taken aback by the fee, but it was was worth it. I highly recommend a guided hike with Lauren or Blue Ridge Hiking.

It was perfect! We are novice hikers unfamiliar with the area. The guide called in advance to discuss our experience and physical fitness; she chose a hike that was very appropriate for us and ended in a beautiful waterfall. Would recommend and do again.
