The loved the amazing attention to detail and the supportive environment that the guides provided. Surprising to myself, I really enjoyed the yoga. And of course the hiking.

Thank you for taking the time to share your passion with others. I am so thankful for our trail experience together. What an amazing group of people. The laughter we all shared! Such an amazing experience! – Andrea W.
I had an absolutely amazing time in the Roan Highlands. We hiked over beautiful grassy balds and mountains and had gorgeous weather, and were able to see all the mountains surrounding us. We saw beautiful flowers: rhododendrons blooming and fire azaleas and all sorts of wild flowers. I wish everyone could see such beautiful things and experience such peace, being out in nature. – Alyssa R.
Excellent! – Tanya M.
Incredible. Well thought out, wouldn't be able to suggest improving. I was challenged, but felt all the stronger for trying to push myself. Thoughtful details.Thanks for a great adventure. – Debbie P.
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.
I loved the rappelling and the yoga in the cave, and of course, I always love hiking. The food was excellent, Linda and Kristy did a great job preparing it. The cabins were great, loved having the wood burning fireplace, and there was plenty of space for 4 people. The employees at the resort, from the restaurant to the guides, were all so nice. – Name Withheld
This was my first backpacking experience and I feel like I learned so much. All of the workshops were informative. – Robin T.
I wouldn't have changed a thing! I really enjoyed the dinner samples and playing the LNT ethics game. From start to finish, the whole trip was fun, educational and well-planned. – Summer K.
This was my 2nd time attending and I really enjoyed it again. All in all, it was still another great experience that I would recommend to anyone. – Summer K.
We both learned a lot. Being new I am not sure what would make it better. The hiking itself was my favorite. – Minette S.
Given the challenging weather conditions, the trip was a fabulous success. I participated with a friend to encourage her to learn more about backpacking and build some confidence. – Lana P.
This workshop was very well planned with a vast range of knowledge from all the guides. I really enjoyed myself! – Jackie C.
I liked the variety of activities, the location, the flow of the schedule, and all the little details the best. I like the whole weekend the best! I don't think you could have done anything better. – Barb C.
I loved the caving and rappelling- really physically and mentally challenging ourselves. Kristy is such a calm moderator and speaker creating a trusting environment where we felt so accepted for who we are. This enabled everyone to share without fear or embarrassment of showing our emotions. I loved all the various activities with yoga in the mix to relax the body and mind. – Mary U.
We have an excellent safety record at Outdoor Adventure Connection. But on other trips we have been called upon to help.
