Intro to Backpacking: Guided Overnight Trip in Blue Ridge Mountains

I'm Katlyn, the owner of Nero Coffee Hikes, and I'm excited to finally start guiding overnight trips for beginner backpackers. I fell in love with backpacking as I completed the 2189+ mile Appalachian Trail and now I want to help other people discover their passion for backpacking too. I know how intimidating it can be to try it (there's so much yoou have to figure out to feel confident taking on an overnight trip in the backcountry!) These trips are designed for the hiker that is interested in trying backpacking for the first time or wants to improve their skills as a beginner backpacker. Each hike booked includes an optional 30 minute zoom call with me to go over any questions or concerns and make sure you are totally set up for the best trip possible.
