Whether you want to see waterfalls, wildflowers, enjoy a quiet walk on a forested path, or climb a 6,000 foot peak, we will customize these trips based on your desired distance, difficulty, and destination. After booking, our office will contact you to discuss your preferences. Hike will meet our office in downtown Asheville at 8:30am, and will last approximately 4-5 hours including transportation time. Snacks are included, but transportation is not. Transportation between Asheville and the trailhead (including hotel pickup) can be added for an additional fee. Your guide can provide trekking poles upon request at no additional charge. We hike rain or shine! Hikers should arrive prepared for all weather conditions and pack a rain jacket, an extra warm layer, and water. We may cancel or reschedule your hike in the event of severe or dangerous weather conditions. Curious about the other hikes we offer? Check out our website!

Q&A

Q: What’s the age limit for this hike? My kids are 8 and 10.

A: There's no strict age limit for the hikes, but it's best if kids are able to handle the physical demands of a half-day hike. The guides can customize the hike based on the kids' abilities, so just mention their ages and fitness levels when booking. They’ll make sure it’s fun and safe for everyone!

Q: How do I know what to wear for the weather? Is it really all weather?

A: Definitely check the forecast before your hike! Asheville weather can be unpredictable, so layers are key. A moisture-wicking base layer, a warm layer, and a waterproof jacket will keep you comfortable. The guides are great at giving advice based on the current conditions too!

Q: Is transportation included or do we need to drive ourselves?

A: Transportation isn't included in the base price but you can add it when booking. They offer hotel pick-up, which is super convenient if you’re coming from downtown Asheville. Definitely worth it if you're not familiar with the area or don't want to drive!

Thinking about gifting the half-day hike! Any tips?

I’m considering this Privately Guided Half Day Hike in Asheville for my sister’s birthday. She loves nature but isn’t super experienced with hiking. I want to make sure it’s not too hard for her. How did you find the guide's customization? Any specific trails you recommend?

Anyone else hike with the Blue Ridge Hiking Company?

I went on the half-day hike a few weeks ago, and it was amazing! We hiked to a peak and the views were breathtaking. The guide was super knowledgeable and friendly. Just wanted to share my experience and see if anyone else had similar thoughts!
