- Lou· August 19th, 2024We really enjoyed our hike through the Presidential Range in NH. The trip was well organized and the our guide Sean was excellent! We could not have asked for a better guide. He was very informative on what to expect each day as well as extremely patient with all of us. We learned so much from him as we travelled from mountain to mountain and would highly recommend Sean and Wildland Trekking if considering a hiking trip. Sean - we can't thank you enough for making our hike a such wonderful and memorable experience and one that we will always remember.Show more
- Jim· August 18th, 2024Our guide - Sean - went above and beyond. Highly recommend.Show more

Kimberly
Asked on May 29th, 2023Is there an option to not share a room
Wildland TrekkingOperator•Written May 2023It is possible to have the room to yourself on out lodge based tours. You would be required to pay the single supplement fee, which varies depending on which trip you are interested in.

Chris
Asked on February 20th, 2023My wife wants to go along but she may want to skip a day of hiking. Can she skip and rejoin in the afternoon?
- Wildland TrekkingOperator•Written February 2023
In general, it may be possible for your wife to skip a hike. The most challenging day to have the happen would be the transition day, #3, when we check out of first hotel and do a hike enroute to our second hotel for nights three and four.

Adam
Asked on December 29th, 2022My wife is not sure if she can keep up on the daily hikes. Any options for her to go along and meet in the evening
- Wildland TrekkingOperator•Written December 2022
To answer your question, your wife is welcome to stay back at the lodge for some or all of the day hikes if she wishes and then join the group for dinner and breakfast etc. However, she will still be required to pay the full trip rate for herself.

Asked on July 20th, 2022can I have a single room
- Wildland TrekkingOperator•Written July 2022
The single supplement fee for the Best of Smokies trip is $500.

Tim
Asked on February 16th, 2022What level of hiking experience is required for the "Best of the Smokies" trip. My husband and I are interested in this trip however my husband is not an experienced hiker. Would this be suitable for him?
- Wildland TrekkingOperator•Written February 2022
We highly recommend everyone train for our hikes regardless of having experience or not. We do not require people to have prior experience hiking. This tour is a level 3 in difficulty, with 1 being least and 5 being most challenging. Some of the trails may be harder than a "3" but you would be doing the trails while wearing a day pack weighing 10-12 pounds as opposed to a fully loaded backpack weighing 40 +/- pounds.
