Steve Yocom from Appalachian Adventure Company and Greg Vaeth of NCLINE Adventures are teaming up to get more people out into the mountains. Both of these guides have hundreds of hours of trail experience with a great amount of knowledge of the area, gear and safety. These guys will share lots of tips and tricks; best of all, they will do the cooking for you this trip! We will meet off the Appalachian trail as a group, hike 3-4 miles in, camp overnight at 6000’ and return back.
