The third women’s hiking trip hosted by Trail Dog & Company in the Carolinas will take place in beautiful Hot Springs, North Carolina from October 5 through 10.
“Hike the Appalachian Trail during the day and soak in the healing hot springs at night!” announces Liz Pfeifer, a positive and passionate hiker and the founder of Trail Dog and Company. “Trail Dog and Company is your local, professional hiking guide service that can help you achieve personal growth goals in 2024 with unique women’s hiking retreats on the iconic Appalachian Trail.” The first two hiking trips sold out quickly, and the third hike is now available for hikers that are eager to reserve their space.
