Who is this journey for?
This trip is for lovers of nature–those who know that the breath is sweeter by a waterfall, the eyes see more clearly in the mountains, and the spirit is more restful in the woods.
You do not need to be an avid hiker to join this journey. There are many levels of activity to choose from when admiring your surroundings, be it admiring from a bench, strolling for awhile, or taking an invigorating full-day hike. Read Suggested Fitness Requirements.
With many thanks to BJ Graf and Lauren Rathvon of RetreaTours, LLC—who are not formally affiliated with this trip in any way but generously provided extensive guidance, photos, trip itinerary, and descriptions of the places we will be visiting based on the trips they have led. We are grateful!”
