Excellent process beginning to end. – Christina P.
I'm glad I went on this trip. I learned that the AT is a friendly place and that I can climb a mountain and gained confidence to return some other time and do it on my own. It was great meeting such a nice group of people, and I made some new friends to hike with back home. – Cheryl T.
We learned a lot of new information about how to prepare ourselves for backpacking. It was great to be able to rent some equipment and try it out before making the investment in backpacking equipment. I also loved that you tailored the information to what folks wanted to know. Wonderful experience overall! – Kari M.
Over the past few days I have realized that the workshop and trip were even more important than I initially realized. The confidence that my knowledge and experience are sufficient to keep me out of major trouble had me smiling all the way home – Lynn J.
I especially enjoyed the creek crossing! I was also very glad to learn about additional techniques for hanging bear bags and all sorts of general safety tips. I can't think of anything I would change - even glad I now know how to handle backpacking in the rain. – Jessica C.

The guides are amazing! I take away from this adventure feeling empowered and self reliant. Watch out World!! – Kimberly P.
