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)We really enjoyed our hike through the Presidential Range in NH. The trip was well organized and the our guide Sean was excellent! We could not have asked for a better guide. He was very informative on what to expect each day as well as extremely patient with all of us. We learned so much from him as we travelled from mountain to mountain and would highly recommend Sean and Wildland Trekking if considering a hiking trip. Sean - we can't thank you enough for making our hike a such wonderful and memorable experience and one that we will always remember.
Presidential Peaks and the Appalachian TrailWe had such a great time. John is a fantastic guide- with the perfect amount of safety and knowledge. His cooking was great and his guiding was awesome. Highly recommend!
