Custom Hikes

Berkshire Hiking/Guiding Services
I will design a Berkshire hiking experience for your abilities, your interests and your time schedule.

Many options are available:

Beginner--Learn to Hike
An easy and fun morning or afternoon walk for beginner hikers than includes learning about walking on the trail, how not to get lost, how to pee in the woods and not get your feet wet (that's for us ladies), and how to avoid ticks, bears and other forest critters. Get all your questions about hiking answered!
Time: 1.5 to 2 hours. Charge: $75 for up to 4 participants.

One of many Berkshire "micro-views," a beautiful garden unaided by human hand!
View northward from the Appalachian Trail; a wide expanse of trees, hills, mountains and lots of sky.
