The trip has armed me with the knowledge that I was previously lacking in terms of packing needs, backwoods hygiene and Leave No Trace principles. Great job! – Jessica C.
What I liked the best was the core Leave No Trace principles that laid the foundation for the entire trip--outdoor ethics. The importance of respect for nature and minimizing the human footprint had personal impact for me. – Karen P.
The trip felt like something out of a dream, seeing such sights. And just being on the AT itself, after spending so long reading about it. The trip gave me great confidence in my backpacking abilities, and made me feel sure I can thru-hike the AT when I'm ready. I can't wait to go back again in the future. – Alyssa R.
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.
This was a wonderful experience that increased my confidence not only in my ability to backpack but in myself in general. There is nothing I would change. – Jackie B.

The trip was just what I was looking for and more! – Randall B.
Just wanted to let you know what a spectacular weekend we had. I could not have been happier signing up for this trip. For a while, I've been wanting to do more backpacking, but just now brave enough or confident enough to venture out on my own. – Nancy B.
I loved the freedom to explore and then time to chill at the evening campfires. – Shelly P.
Great way to dip one's toe into the water of backpacking without having to make a full commitment. – Emily O.
The trip was very informative and answered many questions that I had about backpacking. The park was lovely and had great terrain. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable. I would do this trip again and recommend it to others who were interested in backpacking. Thank you! – Robbin C.
I had a great time. I learned so much about backpacking. I really appreciate all the help I got, especially on the hill:) – Patty O.
The whole weekend was wonderfully organized. We were all kept busy but not too busy and I do love an itinerary! My only regret was not getting to know everyone better. – Susan D.
We have an excellent safety record at Outdoor Adventure Connection. But on other trips we have been called upon to help.
