Spend the evening with us as we chase a beautiful sunset! We'll travel to a west-facing peak close to town for a short hike before settling in to watch the sunset. Afterward, we'll hike back to the trailhead in the dark. Hikers choose between a 3-mile easy to moderate hike, or a 2-mile moderate to challenging hike, both are within a 30 minute drive from downtown Asheville. With a little luck, you'll catch the sunset of your dreams! Hike will meet our office in downtown Asheville, and will last approximately 4-5 hours including transportation time. Snacks are included, but transportation is not (it can be added for an additional fee). Headlamps are provided to all hikers to use during the hike. 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: Is there an age limit for the sunset hike? Can kids join?

A: Yes, kids can definitely join the sunset hike! It’s recommended for ages 8 and up, especially for the 3-mile easy to moderate trail. Just keep in mind that the 2-mile moderate to challenging hike might be a bit tough for younger kids. Also, it’s a good idea to bring something to keep them motivated during the hike!

Q: What should I wear for the hike? Any specific recommendations?

A: Definitely wear layers! It can get chilly when the sun sets, so a light long-sleeve shirt under a windbreaker works well. Good hiking shoes are a must, and don’t forget a hat if you’re sensitive to sun. And if it looks like rain, a rain jacket is super important!

Q: What if it rains? Do they really hike rain or shine?

A: They really do hike rain or shine! However, if the weather is severe, they will either cancel or reschedule the hike. It’s always good to check the forecast and be prepared for all conditions. Make sure to bring a waterproof jacket just in case!

Just did the sunset hike in Asheville, and wow!

I recently went on the Privately Guided Sunset Hike near Asheville, and it was incredible! We took the 3-mile trail, which was perfect for my fitness level. The guide was super friendly and gave us lots of info about the area. Watching the sunset from the peak was absolutely breathtaking, especially with the headlamps for our trek back. I highly recommend it as a gift for anyone who loves the outdoors!

Considering gifting the sunset hike for my sister's birthday

Hey everyone! I'm looking into buying the sunset hike experience for my sister. She's been wanting to get outdoors more, and this seems like a great way to combine adventure with a beautiful view. Has anyone done this? Any tips on what to expect?
