Several points of access to the AT. Did a fantastic hike to the top of a Lookout rock. Amazing views. Also did an easy hike along the only man made Boardwalk section of the entire AT, led to a beautiful water fall above an old abandoned water mill. More

Went on a few outings with John and his overnight guests as I already had accommodation but wanted to do some hiking. John was super helpful in letting me join them when my other plans allowed. I wish I could have done more than the 3 days that I did and will definitely return. Visited great spots and very knowledgeable... More

Wife and I went for nine days with ATA on a hiking and Yoga vacation. The hikes were excellent, the guides were friendly. We had three different yoga instructors while we were there, and all were good, one truly excellent (Sarah). We were there fairly soon after the massive flooding and damage to the area from hurricane Irene, but the... More

Bring waterproof gear for hiking. We went no matter what the weather, and it's fabulous! The guides are super knowedgeble, friendly, safe. The Summit was cozy, comfortable and felt like family after a very short time. Loved sharing the table with other hikers and learning about other destinations, experiences. More

I wanted to do a guided group hiking trip and had initially looked at large companies like BackRoads. Thank goodness I came upon ATA in my search. It was just what I was looking for, and it is a vacation where the activities are individually designed for your own level of fitness and ambition in hiking. The hikes were beautiful,... More

I wanted a somewhat active vacation where i could meet people, try some new things, not have to do much planning of the activities each day, not have to figure out what and where to get each meal, and not have to break my bank. I found all of that with Appalachain Trail Adventures and more. The staff went above... More

This group provides a great hiking/kayaking experience, but is so much more than that. John is able to personalize the hikes and kayaking for the individuals in the group so that everyone is able to enjoy the experience based on their abilities and fitness goals. I was very impressed by that. Also, there were at least 2 guides with each... More

I have to say it was one of the best vacations I have taken. The hikes were fantastic in a beautiful setting. The kayaking was a blast and the people were incredible. John and Jude were so much fun as our guides. They were very laid back and allowed us to choose what we felt like doing on any particular... More

I spent 4 days hiking and kayaking with my wife. John, Sara and Jude are fantastic guides and could not be nicer and more accommodating. We were not experienced hikers nor kayakers, but they helped us get up to speed quickly and had all the equipment that was needed. We had an absolutely fantastic time!! Every last detail was taken...
