All Appalachian Wilderness Guides have training in Wilderness First Aid, have obtained a Professional CPR Certification, and are Certified in Leave No Trace Outdoors Ethics. Most trips include a guide who is a 15 year veteran fireman and paramedic.
Since all Appalachian Wilderness Guides have hiked extensively on the Appalachian National Scenic Trail - and one of them "thru-hiked" the entire 2,172 miles of the "AT" in 2003 - we are strong advocates of the trail, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, the trail clubs that maintain it, the Georgia Appalachian Trail Club and the many volunteers whose combined efforts make this magical trail possible!
Our guides set the standard for friendly and supportive instruction.
We are a group of specialized guides that will NEVER put you out on
the trail with just a vacationing college student to lead the way ! When
you book a trip with us - you can enjoy the comfort and security of
being with experienced experts !

Our guides love their jobs - and their enthusiasm is contagious ! We are
NOT a group of gruff survivalists, but rather a group of friendly, well
versed, well educated individuals with backgrounds in biology, history,
search & rescue, mountain cultures & folklore, botany, counseling and
more!

Wherever we've been ... whether we've traversed fog so thick as
to obscure the trail blaze only inches away, watched clever bears and
field mice stealing new hiker's snacks, or watched in joy as yet another
hiker has discovered the wonders of the wilderness ... WE ALWAYS
HAVE A LOT OF FUN !
