Appalachian Mountains Tours & Trips
Imagine hiking the Appalachian Trail through the Smokies' blue haze, then seeing Dollywood's lights at night. Hike in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, enjoy cable car rides at Cataract Gorge, and the Biltmore Estate in Asheville. Kentucky's bourbon country deserves its reputation, Vermont's covered bridges photograph beautifully, Nashville's music scene never stops. Fall colors here? Insane.

I was hoping we'd stop more so that I could take more pictures of foliage but overall I enjoyed all that we did. Brigette is a great person, with a fantastic personality.
New England's Fall Foliage (Classic)Great trip, so glad I went! Very informative guide, fun group, great equipment and a beautiful hike and kayak trip.
Paddle and Hike AdventureHiking in the Presidential Peaks was a great experience — stunning views, varied trails, and fresh mountain air. Chris, our guide, was well-organized and knowledgeable, keeping the group safe and on track without overdoing it. A memorable trip all around.
