Great hike on the Pink Beds trail in the Pisgah Mountains with our favorite hiking guide Bev MacDowell of Blue Ridge Hiking Company. Nice trail with streams, bridges and diverse habitat. We always use Blue Ridge Hiking for all our guided hikes for our trips to Asheville. Very experienced guides and always pick the best hike for our needs and wants at the time. Highly recommend!

Can’t speak highly enough of my experience with Blue Ridge Hiking Company! I took an afternoon hike around Asheville with Bev. She reached out in advance to find out what I wanted to see and provided a fantastic tour specific to my interests. The hike was exactly what I was looking for and very informative! We hiked up Sam Knob for amazing views and down Graveyard Fields to sit by the beautiful waterfall. As an additional note, this trip was my first as a female solo traveler. Bev made this hiking experience one I will never forget. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful hike and experience with our guide, Mel Gibson. Amazing waterfalls and she had an awesome charcuterie snack board for us mid-way. Mel really understands the trails and easy going. We truly enjoyed our beautiful, sunny November day and definitely want to come back and hike with Mel!

We had a beautiful hike to Mount Craig with a wonderful guide, Bev. We are flatlanders from Chicago and are not accustomed to mountains let alone hiking. It was stupendous! Bev was enormously friendly, generous with her time, and educated us on the region. She really knows her mountains and taught us so much. She provided us with walking sticks, which really helped in challenging areas along the trail, and snacks. It was a very special experience and during peak leaf peeping season, a real treat. It’s as if we’ve made a new wonderful friend. I highly recommend the company and choosing Bev as your guide.

I am so thrilled that I booked a guided hike with Blue Ridge Hiking Company. It was my first time to Asheville and as a solo traveler, I really wanted to experience the beauty of the mountains safely. Melissa G was such a wonderful guide. She was thoughtful and accommodating when I expressed that I wanted some alone time on the hike to just soak in all the beauty. I was thankful that transportation was provided and felt very safe knowing I was with someone who knew the area well. I especially appreciate how Melissa curated my hiking experience based on my hiking ability and my desire to see a variety of scenery on the hike. If you’re planning a trip to Asheville, I highly recommend getting a guided hike through Blue Ridge Hiking Company. I opted for the half-day morning hike and it was the perfect dose of nature on my short weekend trip. The price was reasonable especially for the peace of mind for a solo, female traveler. I truly enjoyed spending my day with Melissa and will absolutely book this hike again in the future!
