I was part of an all-women Learn How to Backpack overnight trip in Shenandoah National Park, a collaboration between Blaze and Girls Who Hike Virginia. The three Blaze guides were obviously knowledgeable and capable while still being encouraging and creating a safe space to learn new skills. The pre-trip briefings were thorough and very helpful; I followed their advice and was well prepared for my first backpacking trip. I would trust them and use them for a future trip.

What an amazing experience! Dave went above and beyond ensuring we were taken care of on our supported bicycling tour from Cumberland to DC. His expertise and guidance were priceless and the rolling buffet was top-notch. In addition, Dave lined up our wonderful accommodations and suggested excellent dinner options. We shared many laughs and look forward to the next adventure!

Immersive learning experience for sure! Adapting to change in weather conditions and temperatures. Using the information you're getting in real time and trusting yourself, your body and those around you! Great experience! Thank you Meredith and Laurel!
