Hi there! I’m Eli, and this is my third year leading these hiking club adventures. I created this club to provide organized, accessible outdoor adventures in Asheville that you can easily hop onto! As a professional guide, I see firsthand how many people want to spend time in nature but get bogged down by the planning process or the hesitation of going alone. If you are one of those people, I promise this is the best Asheville-based outdoor activity for you. You can come alone or bring your favorite people; the dates and locations are already figured out for you. What is truly special about this club is our partnership with local Western North Carolina conservation non-profits. $10 of your pass is a direct donation to these organizations, so we are giving back to the land we're enjoying. 

Think of me as your "trail bestie" taking you to my favorite spots in the legendary Blue Ridge Mountains and the Pisgah National Forest.

I’m a deep lover of nature now, but I didn't actually grow up spending time outdoors. I only became familiar with these local waterfalls and trails because someone else took the time to show me. While I’m not a thru-hiker, I’ve spent the last five years deeply immersed in this specific terrain—clocking over 520 days "on dirt" learning these forests. Can't wait to hit the trail with you!
