We had a wonderful half-day trip with Mike as our guide in Pisgah National Forest and on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The waterfalls were beautiful, and the foliage was almost at its peak. Mike's enthusiasm for nature was infectious, and his knowledge was vast. We are both senior citizens and occasional hikers. We were very comfortable with the short hikes.

Exactly what we wanted: a half-day in the mountains, enjoying fall color and seeing waterfalls. PLUS exactly what we didn’t know we wanted: a smart, fun and very knowledgeable guide, who had so many stories about the mountains, flora and fauna. We got a mini-education on medicinal plants, snakes and rock formations. He was really great. We could tell he loves his job and he talks very highly of his employer. I’m certain all the guides are equally accomplished.
