This was a wonderful experience. Our guide, Eli, was very informative and professional, with a brilliant personality to boot. The chosen hikes were catered to our group which was really appreciated. The overlooks were fantastic, same as the waterfalls. Thank you for the adventure!

Shannon was an excellent guide for my mom and I. We booked a Sunday morning tour and ended up being the only 2 people so she was very accommodating to my 70 yr old mom. She was a safe driver, took us on a scenic route up the mountain and showed us 2 waterfalls and a wonderful overlook of the Blue Ridge Mountains. (We opted out of the 3rd waterfall since mom couldn't keep walking). The trails were mild if youre in shape to walk a trail with tree roots on the path and slight incline. Shannon was knowledgeable about plants and the area in general. She offered walking sticks for our use and did a great job being the photographer as well :) The drive from the meeting spot is about 45 minutes. Once you get to Pisgah, there's a visitors center with a restroom and snack shop. There is also another restroom stop before heading back.
