It was perfect the way it was. Just enough time to "get your feet wet" I like there are other courses that build from this experience.Andrea W.

I had so much fun, learned so much, and connected with great women.Eunice H.

A PERFECT weekend...well-planned, seamless, and packed with fun things. I'm not a sit-around-and-chat kind of girl. I do better connecting through activates, so I liked it jam-packed! I really appreciated the thoughtfulness of the extras.Renee W.

What a fabulous experience! I enjoyed meeting, hiking and laughing with everyone. Thank you for a great adventure!! Your photos capture every aspect of the journey. The beauty of the land, new friendships, laughter and fatigue.Pat S.

I liked that everyone was encouraged to do/try each activity but that no one was made to feel badly if they did not want to do something. It seems that everyone accomplished what they hoped and that people overcame their fears, too!Amanda L.

Totally enjoyed the experience and new knowledge obtained.Gregg W.

This trip was quite a triumph for me personally. The scenery was amazing. The culture of the AT is something I love and am fascinated by. But people are what make our lives the most meaningful. I could not imagine sharing the experience with 6 finer people on earth.Chris C.

It was a great trip! Our section of trail in the Roan highlands provided great diversity and a nice sample of what life is like on the Appalachian trail.Charley S.
