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 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.

I liked the option of hiking at our own pace on Sunday morning, not being in a hurry to get to the hostel. Everything was perfect. Thank you so much! – Margie H.

Great cost savings for non local attendees. – Ron B.

This workshop was so informative, fun, and prepared my husband and I to take off on our own. We learned so much and this confirmed our desire to start backpacking. I was a little unsure and uncomfortable with it before but now I can't wait to get back out there. It was a perfect and amazing experience. – Melissa T.

All of the guides were amazingly friendly and very knowledgeable. I am very appreciative of everything all of you did. – Rachel M.

Andy is a great leader; he helped us with our weaknesses and praised our strengths. He provided a nice balance of group hiking and also let us hike at our own pace. I would recommend this trip to anyone who has interest in hiking any type trail for an extended period of time. Experienced hikers would definitely benefit as well. If you have every wanted to "get out there" this is the trip to take. – Charley S.

Communication was great. – Holly G.

The whole weekend was an incredible experience. It went far beyond my expectations. – Shelly M.

Loved it all!! – Mary U.

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 can't pick any one thing I liked "best". I thought the whole trip was great. You have done an outstanding job on the other trips I've been on with you and you did so again on this one. First rate all the way. – Jack L.

It was an excellent trip all the way around. It gave me a lot of opportunity to get close to the nature and refresh myself. – Ivin J.

The guide was a great leader. I will definitely do another. I look forward to the Appalachian Trail next year with you. – Jessica H.
