Privately Guided Half Day Hike

Overview

Whether you want to see waterfalls, wildflowers, enjoy a quiet walk on a forested path, or climb a 6,000 foot peak, we will customize these trips based on your desired distance, difficulty, and destination. After booking, our office will contact you to discuss your preferences.

Hike will meet our office in downtown Asheville at 8:30am, and will last approximately 4-5 hours including transportation time. Snacks are included, but transportation is not. Transportation between Asheville and the trailhead (including hotel pickup) can be added for an additional fee. Your guide can provide trekking poles upon request at no additional charge.

We hike rain or shine! Hikers should arrive prepared for all weather conditions and pack a rain jacket, an extra warm layer, and water. We may cancel or reschedule your hike in the event of severe or dangerous weather conditions.

There are so many hiking options in the Ashville area. We did not have a lot of time to research for the best. Melinda helped us pick a great hike and fit into our tight schedule. She was a real delight to walk with and worked to make sure we were getting the most out of the experience.

We found Adam to be a knowledgeable and friendly guide. He grew up in the area and has intimate insight about the Asheville and surrounding areas. He was extremely accommodating and an overall joy to spend our time with. Highly recommend…5 stars!
