This trip had everything, great leadership, fellow hikers & weather. God blessed our trip, it was awesome! – Bob B.
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.
I thought every bit was very well thought out down to the smallest detail. It was wonderful to not be in charge and have schedules, food, comfortable lodging and like minded people around. – Beth R.
You really raised the bar for future trips! The scenery was spectacular. It was good to brush up on my water-crossing skills, too. This may become one of my favorite hikes ever. – Glenn R.
I really liked the planning that was evident on this trip. No one can predict the weather - and we certainly experienced 3 of the 4 seasons - but there were plans in place to deal with whatever mother nature threw at us. – Linda M.
It was all excellent. I would not have changed a thing. It was as described when I signed up. The guides were so helpful, informative, answered all questions and were only encouraging in all our efforts. I give them an A+ – Kelly E.

Great group of people. You are so knowledgeable and great at sharing. Don't change anything. The trip was everything you said it would be. – Deb G.
Well organized and informative. I really liked the ability to hike the AT with an experienced guide. I got out of this what I hoped for and then some. The experience accelerated my learning curve and ability to do multi-day backpacking trips. – Rick J.
I'm now an experienced backpacker thanks to Outdoor Adventure Connection. Their workshops, presentations, backpack trips, and hikes have turned an interest in the outdoors into a passion. Andy is a natural at educating and promoting. He knows how to teach; he knows how to encourage; he knows when to challenge; he has a knack for connecting with people. He's creative, energetic, and a master at organization. – Karen C.
I liked that every detail was thoroughly thought out. Trips like this enable the inexperienced hiker to gain valuable knowledge. Andy is the best at what he does! – Bill K.
We have an excellent safety record at Outdoor Adventure Connection. But on other trips we have been called upon to help.

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. The fantastic leaders set the tone for a group. They encouraged a supportive female environment from the start and ensured everyone felt comfortable and included. – Ellie H.
