Spring Hiking Trips
2 Days, 1 Night 15MI / 24KM
Trip Highlights
Our 2-day Brews and Views Day Hike Combo pairs unforgettable Appalachian hikes with post-trail visits to some of the region’s best craft breweries. You’ll explore two iconic wilderness areas near Asheville: a rugged gorge dubbed “The Grand Canyon of the East,” and a stunning forested landscape rich with waterfalls, rare biodiversity, and panoramic vistas. After each hike, we’ll stop at hand-picked breweries for a well-earned pint or flight, all included. With trail snacks, lunch, scenic drives along the Blue Ridge Parkway, and transportation with a designated driver, this experience is the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.

Is This Trip Right For me?
This trip travels over some rocks and a few washed out areas on trail but also follows flat, well-maintained sections.

2 years agoA must do!
This hiking trip with Tommy was amazing. He listened to our wishes and provided a great knowledgeable service for our first guided hiking trip. We were able to see secret views the regular public missed. A must do!!

2 years agoAmazing experience from start to finish!
We had an amazing time on our hike and brew adventure with our guide Kyle. He was so knowledgeable about the area, plants and animal life. Kyle went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and safe. The lunches were delicious and the breweries top notch. I highly recommend this tour and would definitely book another Wildland Trekking trip. Looking forward to our next adventure soon!
