Epic ride.
Great work out .
Scenery was spectacular.
Fun and laughter was endless.

Brian F

Literally the best experience that I’ve ever had on 2 wheels. This was the 1st guided adv trip for me. I didn’t quite know what to expect. I was amazed by the friendliness and preparedness of the staff. The food and equipment is top notch and the rides were outstanding! A plus I highly recommend

The ride was a great experience. The guides were knowledgeable enough to know how to adapt the route to the abilities of even the newest riders would definitely do again.

The Appalachian
Mountains

The Appalachian Mountains are one of America’s greatest natural treasures, stretching more than 2,000 miles through the eastern United States. Millions of people experience these mountains by hiking a single trail, climbing to one overlook, and spending an entire day reaching just a handful of scenic viewpoints. While those experiences are rewarding, they only scratch the surface of what the Appalachians have to offer.


An ECAT Adventure Tour transforms that experience.
