Privately Guided Full Day Hike

Had a fantastic time again hiking with Blue Ridge Hiking Company! I did two 1/2 day and two full day trips exploring the Smokie Mountains and around Ashville! Bev, Lizzy & Kate are super nice & knowledgable!! Highly recommend and will choose to hike with them again

This was my first hiking trip inside the interior of North Carolina’s beautiful stretch of mountains! We didn’t know what to expect nor what to ask for during our full day hike on last Friday and our half day hike last Saturday! Here comes our lovely guide BEV! Experienced hiker and local resident with a sample of 6 mountains over our visit!! She asked enough questions and figured out quite a challenging climb with views that were FANTASTIC!! We climbed up Sam Knob, through Buck Springs lodge, up Black Balsam and sat under a waterfall at Log Hollow Falls on Friday. She had this thing managed for the half day when things got very technical up Mt. Mitchell (twice…we ran it) then made our way over to Mt. Craig and TOM which was totally a calf burner and back bender up, down and over the rocks!!!! Early birthday trip for me. BEST GIFT EVER from PAL Danita and MASTER mountain guide BEV!! I would recommend BEV for this BAD ASS HIKE!!! She can talk you through it!!

Bev was a true professional. She knows the trails inside and out. Bev took us to six different waterfalls provided us with snacks a sandwich, drinks, and made sure we were comfortable all day. Bev made it the perfect hiking day with my son. I will definitely call Bev again for my next private hiking trip.

I had the most amazing day ever! Pisgah National Forest is beautiful! So many hidden gems! I am so grateful for my incredible guide Anna! She is an amazing person, kind and knowledgeable! I highly recommend the Blue Ridge Hiking Company and Anna as your hiking guide!! Thank you Anna once again for an experience I will never forget!

I booked a private trip for myself and my 9-year old granddaughter for a hike which included one overnight. Blue Ridge Hiking made sure they understood our goals for the trip and designed the perfect trip for us, including an incredibly well-suited guide for our goals of learning, adventure and fun. Our guide taught us hiking/camping best practices and gear. In addition, she was was very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna which made the trip so special for my curious granddaughter. Our guide provided an experience that left my granddaughter - and me - eager for our next hike. Exactly what I had hoped! In terms of administration, BRH was easy to work with, responsive and patient with my questions during trip setup, and did a great job with trip follow up as well. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful full day hike in Hot Springs, NC. The views were beautiful. Our guide, Bev, provided excellent service. She was organized and professional and such a nice person. We really connected with her and she made the day fun! I would definitely use this company again for hiking trips in the area and will recommend them and Bev to friends.

Our guide for the day was Bev MacDowell. She selected two great hikes both with stunning views and an abundance of wild flowers. Bev’s enthusiasm and love of nature was contagious and made for the perfect day. I highly recommend Blue Ridge hiking company!

fantastic day hiking trip up to mount mitchell with Jenna! She is very knowledgable and enthusiastic about hiking and the diverse environment that is very different from Asheville. Highly reccomend!

Another fabulous trip with Blue Ridge Hiking Co! They always tailor my trips to my interests and the guides are fantastic. I would highly recommend Jenna Carrol and Kacie Ross! Fabulous women who really know the area, the secret waterfalls, amazing views, and always come prepared with great lunches and tasty snacks!

This was hands down the best day of my trip to Asheville! We had beautiful weather and the views were awe inspiring. I even got teary eyed at one point as the Blue Ridge Mountain horizon is humbling. My tour guide, Bev was A- MAZING!!! She picked the perfect hikes for my fitness level and desire to still see the views. It was just the right amount of strenuous without overdoing it. She was incredibly knowledgeable and fun to hike with and was very thoughtful by bringing a gf, df lunch which she allowed me to select. She also had many snacks for me that I liked and could eat. I carpooled with Bev to save on the cost which was very accommodating. I would not hesitate to use this tour company and guide again. You’ll be in good hands and cannot go wrong!
