Andy's inspirational and informative navigation is top notch. His passion for and deep knowledge of the AT is so tangible in both his planned workshops and informal conversations. I learned so much.Rhonda T.

I would not change anything, the whole trip was fabulous. I enjoyed the workshops - especially the lingo workshop -- great way to break up the hiking and keep it entertaining!Karen C.

I was glad to finally see how much a 23 lb pack feels when hiking. It wasn't bad at all. The guides are very knowledgeable and enjoy sharing their experiences with others. Their personal touch with everything from breakfast to best practices was awesome!Jill B.

Loved the presentations, the humor, the information. Andy is a natural teacher, you made the Leave No Trace fun even for adults, and through the chuckles, made it thought provoking too.Glen B.

I liked everything!Lori D.

I really liked hearing about everyone's different experience and the tricks they learned while backpacking and camping. It was a great experience and I got to meet lots of really energetic, nice and wonderful people!Katie H.

It was the best from beginning to the end. From personal experience, I don't know what you could possibly change or do better. Thank you for a truly exciting adventure.Regina C.

The trip was wonderful and inspiring. My favorite part was crossing the river. I can not think of any changes needed. It was also nice to meet others interested in backpacking. It was impressive how hard the guides worked to assist us setting up camp on a rainy day and then cooking so many different foods for us to try. I will book another trip!Sally D.

Still trying to absorb the absolutely wonderful experiences I had this past weekend. I highly recommend Outdoor Adventure Connection if you want to learn more about all things hiking. This is my second trip with them, and it was even more awesome than the first one.Shelly M.

I really enjoyed the overnight in a tent and the demo of jet boil. I appreciate learning how to pack my pack; it was way to unnecessarily heavy.Jeremiah H.
