All of this was orchestrated professionally and perfectly! Would highly recommend John and... More

I would recommend Appalachian Trail Adventures to anyone who enjoys the outdoors. John, the founder, is extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and there are enough guides and great trails to ensure an adventurous hike to those of all fitness levels. Kayaking was a great addition to an active day- something I would not have done on my own. John is also... More

Awesome experience! Had three great days of hiking and kayaking. Great scenery very knowledgable guides and good food. Ask for the hikers portions to avoid being hungry.

We had a fun time hiking and kayaking. John and Jen were very helpful and knowledgeable. I hope to get back to Vermont and work with them again. Thank you for a great day!

It's basically adult camp - hiking in the morning, kayaking and swimming in the afternoon, with the ability to squeeze in time for sightseeing and some great VT microbrews.
