I loved all aspects of the trip, well....except that 28lb pack was not so pleasant the first hour, but after some adjustments by the guides, it wasn't difficult. I did not want the weekend to end! All the guides were so helpful, friendly, and full of information from their own various personal experiences. I will definitely do this again! – Bridget M.
I loved the daily yoga, especially the cave! – Kelli B.
Excellent! I loved the small group and challenging of hike. I enjoyed tent camping for three nights. – Sally D.
Andy was a fantastic guide! He was able to provide and support with a nice gradual release. His workshops were informative and gave us valuable details about backpacking on the AT. – Heather G.
The BEST part of this weekend was the way you thought of every detail and planned the weekend so that we could enjoy it fully without worrying about being responsible for anything (other than staying safe and having fun!). I really have no suggestions on how to make it better. – Beth L.

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.
