Another great weekend! I think all of the activities/events are well thought-out and planned, wouldn’t change anything.Christina P.

Every detail of the hike was well planned. The information provided beforehand was very useful and Andy's guidance during the hike enabled us all to have a great experience. I enjoyed the challenge. It was an amazing experience!Bill K.

I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to share this adventure with.Jackie C.

Best hiking group ever! I loved the guides. They were both so kind and patient and answered all those questions I had about stoves, filters, packing backpack.Tippi M.

I thought that this workshop was a good test of the equipment my wife and I are planning to take next month when we begin section hiking on the AT. I particularly liked the helpful tips I received from both guides.Randall B.

The whole weekend was wonderfully organized. We were all kept busy but not too busy and I do love an itinerary! My only regret was not getting to know everyone better.Susan D.

It is hard to pick one thing that was best because it was all so awesome.Maria D.

I really appreciated the focus of the trail projects and how knowledgeable the trail boss is.Robin R.

It was a great fall hike with great weather and great people to hike with and share the weekend. I learned lots this weekend.Bob M.

It was fun, exciting, challenging, informative and the guides were the best.Bettina H.

Enjoyed every detail of the trip. Since you can't change the weather there is nothing I would change. Excellent experience!Cathy F.

What an absolutely wonderful weekend this was! It was refreshing, challenging, relaxing, fun, therapeutic, inspiring, energizing, esteem building, educational and informative. The weekend was filled with new and unique experiences for me - caving, yoga, yoga in a cave, gourmet dining. Loved all of the caves we were able to see on the hikes and also the ones we were able to explore. I didn't realize how fun it would be to get up close and personal with a cave by crawling in the dirt on hands and knees. Sign me up for the next retreat!Karen P.

Loved every second of it!!Anna K.

The individual attention the guides gave to everyone was awesome! The guides made everyone feel comfortable regardless of your experience. It was great and I had a blast!Sharon J.

The trip was wonderful and inspiring. My favorite part was crossing the river. I can not think of any changes needed. It was also nice to meet others interested in backpacking. It was impressive how hard the guides worked to assist us setting up camp on a rainy day and then cooking so many different foods for us to try. I will book another trip!Sally D.

I enjoyed everything about the trip. I learned a lot and appreciated the opportunity to sample so many different freeze dried meals.Margy R.

A PERFECT weekend...well-planned, seamless, and packed with fun things. I'm not a sit-around-and-chat kind of girl. I do better connecting through activates, so I liked it jam-packed! I really appreciated the thoughtfulness of the extras.Renee W.
