Penetrate Appalachian wilderness as far as you dare! Day-hikes range from 1/4mi to 8mi; hike various terrains from mountains to streams, or even find fossils! Include camping or other outdoor activities like kayaking or your own special interest. Excihiking builds & supports tours to include the most scenery possible commensurate to your skills.

Typical Daykeyboard_double_arrow_up
Congrats to Don Defreeze and his recent book's publication Climb Beyond the Crest, available at most online stores (Amazon, Barnes, etc).

If you prefer not to drive to the event, take our courtesy shuttle.

Join Don (B.S. Meteorology) on the day's Appalachian adventure. His accumulated knowledge about the region's mountains spans decades; his insights will entertain and inform at every turn. Hikes end at 5pm, which may be extended if all agree.

Rest in comfort at night, Excihiking can book your Roanoke hotel room for you, or develop a camp-out. We know the best locations and can maintain primitive as well as developed campsites.

One day touring Roanoke is recommended, attend the many venues that Roanoke offers, being a tourist city itself. We extend our support after-hours by providing information about shopping, dining and such. Whatever your goal, Excihiking will design a perfect adventure for you.

Anyone joining a day hike may have courtesy transportation provided but not guaranteed.

Sleeping and mealskeyboard_double_arrow_up
From cheap to luxurious, rooms can be booked by Excihiking for a nominal fee of 5% cost; we can place you in the room you want.

Meals are not included on daily hiking excursions unless you specify them. We can also arrange setting up excursions on a day-to-day basis as an option to stay on budget. If camping is included, basic food stuffs are provided along with a tent, but the lion share of meals during camping falls upon the customer.

Whatever lodging arrangements you decide to make, you can almost always join us- just let us know!
