This was my first backpacking experience and I feel like I learned so much. All of the workshops were informative.Robin T.

It was a great trip, well organized, fantastic bunch of people and overall a wonderful few days. Thank you. I loved the entire weekend and it was well worth my 10hr drive home. Thanks Andy. Will be keeping an eye out for more trips.Olivia E.

Excellent! The guides are extremely knowledgeable and great leaders. It was a pleasure meeting new backpackers and sharing experiences.Jerry R.

I'm glad I went on this trip. I learned that the AT is a friendly place and that I can climb a mountain and gained confidence to return some other time and do it on my own. It was great meeting such a nice group of people, and I made some new friends to hike with back home. Cheryl T.

I am so appreciative of the gentle manner in which Andy guides, coaches, encourages you to learn and grow. He sets you up so you feel confident to tackle a backpacking trip on your own. Traci B.

It was absolutely amazing. I would not change a thing. I hope you do more trips. I will definitely sign up. It was great meeting all the other women. We had a very nice group. Terrie W.

This experience was amazing. I wouldn't change anything. I was very sad to see it end.Kody M

The trip was very helpful to me as a beginner.Naomi J.

Fantastic trip and what a campsite the second night!Rob E.

I loved meeting new friends and comparing equipment. I don't think I would change a thing. I liked the fact that every time we talked about things like water filtering or camp stoves, someone there had used something different and we got to see how they worked. Visual experience is always the best.Sara D.

Thank you for offering this great adventure!Nicole C.
