Appalachian Autumn Adventures

This trip was memorable, it was not the trip planned but new friends were made, a lot of laughs were had and we all learned to Pivot! Our guides Linda and Riley were exceptional and made the whole experience enjoyable even during a Hurricane.

I’ve traveled a ton and loved that I could just enjoy and not have to worry about all the details. Excellent company and guides. Fantastic trip!

I loved getting to try whitewater rafting for the first time with such a supportive group of women in a beautiful location! It was so fun getting to go horseback riding and hike a portion of the Appalaxhian Trail too, and the house we stayed in was gorgeous. Also, our guides Kaitlyn and Lindsay were fantastic, making us feel special and cared for throughout the trip! I had a great time and can't wait to plan another trip with AGC!

The multisport of the trip and hiking Blood Mountain.

The guides were exceptional. They went out of there way to make sure everyone had a fun and enjoyable trip.

I like the variety of activities. Guides are fantastic and the camaraderie with the other ladies is enjoyable.

I had not anticipated the degree of comraderie with the other participants or the level of pampering by the AGC guides.

The variety of challenging activities packed into a short time frame. Also, for personal reasons I like that it was scheduled for the autumnal equinox, and I was out on the deck watching a spectacular sunrise that morning. And,for more practical reasons, Atlanta is a short direct flight from my home airport so not a lot of travel hassle relative to the few days we were there.

Our two guides were amazing in every way! The trip exceeded my expectations!

So many things from the incredible ladies in the group to the accommodation and variety of activities made this trip special. I like getting to fully participate in the activities. I felt challenged by the hike and the rafting and loved it!!! Our experienced guides (Emily and Lindsay) were a source of interesting conversations and knowledge about adventure traveling!

Riding, Hiking and White water rafting are my favorite activities. So this trip was just right

the white water rafting was fabulous and staying in the lovely barn was a highlight too because it was so nicely remodeled and gave extra privacy and quiet time.

"Appalachian Autumn Adventures" 2022 More than I expected at every turn. An epic four days for me with amazing women and our guides were stellar accomplices. We heard alotta "You can do this!" So, to all the women I know who need some wide open spaces n thinking of lanching on their first group adventure ... I highly recommend it 🤙 Do It! 🤙 You go girl! 🤙

Sharing the adventure with my sister!

I especially liked the rafting trip ! A little scary but awesome ! Also we had a great group! Everyone including the guides were so friendly and helpful. It was great to make so many new friends.

The Chatooga River was definitely a highlight. The array of activities suited me because I'd never been hiking or rafting and wanted to see how I'd do, to help me figure out what types of trip I'd like to do in the future.

This trip outdid my expectations! It was enough to really push and challenge me but not to send me over the edge! I learned a lot about myself. Riding the rugged terrain and the thrill of getting caught in a sunny rainstorm! The team work involved in rafting and going over that #4 rapid! The perseverance that it took for me to get up Blood Mountain ( and down) and feel like I had some steam left to do more. The wonderful group of women.

The activities were well planned & better than anticipated. The group of women was wonderful.

I really appreciated the leaders accommodating my veganism. They did a great job doing so, and in every other way. They were very organized and communicated clearly about our activities.

The fellowship among group members

Deb & Lindsay were so awesome! Great guides, great cooks, great drivers... kind and fun! Just the best! I'm so glad I had the opportunity to travel with them!

Everything about this trip was wonderful. Our guides were friendly, helpful and knowledgable. The accommodations were clean and spacious and the view was breathtaking. My fellow travels were an amazing group of women that it was such a pleasure to get to know them and spend time with them. This trip exceeded my expectations and I look forward to booking another trip with AGC.

Yes this adventure meet my expectations. It took me out of my comfort zone.

Yes, beyond words can describe. So much thought, effort and care were put into every single detail of this trip. As a planner in my social circle, this is the first time I didn't plan a thing and truly reaped the benefits of a stress-free vacation. To know that you'll be cared for, everything is planned, and all you have to do is show up to have fun...priceless. This is my first trip with an all women's company and I feel like I hit the lottery having chosen them. I'll be booking soon. Thank you, Leigh and Chris, for making this one of the most memorable trips for me ever.

The day of rafting was absolutely my favorite and while the hike up and over Blood Mountain was a bit challenging for me, I felt so accomplished after completing it. Chris and Leigh were perfect guides who made us feel pampered and cared for. Both are knowledgeable and fun. The accommodations were great - the house is gorgeous. I'm not an early riser but happily woke each morning to see the sun rise over the mountains. Excellent trip.

White water rafting and the hike up Blood Mountain.

The white water rafting and "water experiences." A little out of my comfort zone, but so glad I did them.

This was an amazing trip! Our guides (Leigh and Chris) was wonderful: knowledgeable, extremely dependable, extremely patient, highly organized, attentive to all details, and so much fun!! Via Chris and Leigh, I increased my knowledge about backpacking, hiking, and rafting. With this being my first rafting experience, both knew just what to say and do to alleviate my concerns and anxiety. Hiking over Blood Mountain was on my bucket list! I highly recommend this trip!

White water rafting

Relaxed but active getaway. Great way to spend my first visit to Georgia and first hike on the Appalachian Trail. Rafting was a hoot.

I was impressed by the AGC website and pre-trip information so I was skeptical that it could be as good as it appeared. Therefore, I was so pleased to discover that the trip was well organized, the guides knowledgeable and friendly, the food terrific and the companionship interesting and supportive. The activities were engaging, challenging and fun!

Rafting was a blast

This was an exploratory trip with AGC to see how trips were organized and run. I was quite pleased. My husband and I travel with a number of different groups/companies and AGC is up there with the best of them. The all-women environment was very nice and relaxing.

I enjoyed everything we did

Meeting new friends and enjoyed hiking the most but horseback and rafting were fun

The guides, Leigh and Laurie, were fabulous, knowledgeable and FUN! The women were all nice and we got along very well....it was great that we all wanted to be there and enjoy the same things. The hostel was lovely, the setting amazing, and all the meals delicious! Not to mention, each of the activities was challenging and memorable. All in all, I loved EVERYTHING about this adventure!!! I brought my two eldest daughters along, so it was especially memorable!

The water rafting trip was awesome! As with all else, there was not a time I felt like I was in need of one thing, the guides wrre excellent.

This trip was much needed time that I got to spend with my mom and sister! Everything was planned so very well and our guides, Leigh Saint and Laurie Priest were AMAZING!! What I loved the most (aside from time with my family) is that I didn't have to think or plan anything. That is the nature of my work - to plan, think through logistics, trouble shoot, etc. - for me, NOT having to think about anything that we were doing and just going with it - was really a wonderful blessing of this trip!

The trip was well organized. The guides shared their hiking knowledge. They were understanding of the various levels of skills amongst the group.

I loved the variety of adventures offered on the trip - the hiking was my favorite.

The whole trip was perfect. I travelled alone and met some wonderful ladies. I liked the different events each day. It was all a great adventure.

Very well organized but flexible. Excellent guides. Accommodations. Other participants. The actual activities.

Welcoming, encouraging guides. Loved variety of activities

Horseback riding, white water rafting, hiking the AT, our beautiful hostel, the delicious food at every meal, our guides, and my traveling companions. Everything was wonderful!

Loved the interaction with different t women from areas in the Midwest and south. The hostel was very acccomadating, the food delicious, the host/tour guide Leah, amazing. She made everything look easy with her organization. Her expertise made me feel very reassured.!

Meeting so many wonderful women, doing amazing outdoor adventures, bonding so quickly with "strangers", delicious food, laughing so hard like only a group of women can laugh, and feeling confident in doing activities that I had never done before!

The hiking segment rated as a #2. Other participants felt it was at least a #3 due to the elevation up of 2.5 miles and down 2.5 miles. However, the rest of the trip segments were fantastic. Being a "Newbie" to AGC, I was impressed with the overall trip. Attention to detail was excellent, staying on schedule at all times, food was excellent, totally enjoyed the group of women, but above all, I had soooo...... much FUN!

Great group of women, well planned fun activities, great food
