Chris was the most gracious & knowledgeable tour guide. He is very passionate about his job & sharing history as well as Ashevilles ecosystem facts. Chris was very accommodating to our interests. I would highly recommend this business & will definitely seek out another tour with him.

Old friends and new shared the joys of exploring the Pisgah forest with our most amazing, knowledgeable and friendly naturalist guide Chris. The waterfalls were magical and every single one of our many questions about the flora and fauna were answered by Chris. He even called some birds closer in for us to view in their natural habitat. He was completely supportive of us as a group and individually. Easy hiking on well maintained trails. Spectacular views everywhere and even from the back of one of one of the waterfalls. Highly recommend!

My husband and I enjoyed some leisurely and most enjoyable hikes to several amazing waterfalls. Our guide Emily made this adventure extra special! She was informative, energetic and was kind enough to take photos of us all along the way. A great way to spend some time in the mountains!
