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.

Our group recently booked the private half day hike with Blue Ridge Hiking Company and it was a very nice afternoon. One of the highlights for us was the convenience of being driven to the trailheads. This made the whole trip much more relaxing and enjoyable. Our guide Lexie was sweet, accommodating and attentive to our interest. The company also provided a snack which was a nice touch. Overall, I would recommend Blue Ridge Hiking company for a tailored stress free day of hiking.

I was so fortunate to go on a half-day hike with Bev and Melinda. This hike was the absolute highlight of my trip to Asheville! I was traveling solo and I knew that I wanted to see the Blue Ridge Parkway and go hiking. Bev planned the most spectacular hike! She is such an expert in all ways...excellent communication before our hike, picked the perfect hike, is the most amazing guide but more than anything, she is the friendliest and kindest human being and is just so much fun to be around. Having Melinda there was a bonus and she is also an amazing guide and a joy to be with! Bev and Melinda both were so attentive to my needs throughout the whole hike - providing me with polls and snacks and constantly checking-in with me to see how I was doing. This half-day hike FAR exceeded expectations. Both of these women are so inspiring and are a gift to people like me who aren't yet ready to hike alone. Thank you Bev and Melinda for a most memorable day!

We had such an enjoyable day with our hiking guide, Kacie! We were not the easiest to deal with as we had so many questions from the start. Kacie was patient, fun, knowledgeable and shared great information about follow up ways to learn more about the area. We loved our adventure and would recommend this tour to anyone!
