"Jennifer Pharr Davis, founder of Blue Ridge Hiking Co., guided me to a favorite find, a trail that leads to the ruins of a summer home that’s said to have had more than three dozen rattlesnake skins tacked to its living-room ceiling. I also relished the drive to DuPont State Forest. Water-starved Californians can soak up the scenery at three stunning waterfalls here." - LA Times
"I emailed the Blue Ridge Hiking Company, which set me up with a specialist in Appalachian flora. It was a day of 'winey sparkle' and 'shining brightness' to borrow a description from hometown novelist Thomas Wolfe. We climbed lichen-covered stone ledges into a cool, ferny hollow; the creek on our left jumped musically from one gravel pool to the next and my guide picked wild plants for me to taste." - Conde Nast Traveler
"Take a family guided hike with Blue Ridge Hiking Company." - Red Tricycle
