Local, certified guides
Every guided tour is led by someone who lives within a valley of the route — naturalists, map nerds and first-aid trained leaders.
Weekend Activities & Guided Tours
Trade the screen for the open trail.
Trail & Timber plans small-group outdoor adventures across ridges, rivers and quiet woodland — with local guides who know every switchback by name. Step out on Saturday morning and come home with a story worth retelling.
Next departure: Saturday, 7:30 a.m. — 12 spots left on the Ridge Walk.
Why walk with us
Outdoor adventures, arranged around your weekend
No gear mountains to climb before you even start. We handle the route, the permits and the coffee at the trailhead — you bring the curiosity.
Built for real weekends
Half-day and full-day weekend activities that start after breakfast and end before dinner. Short drives, no wasted hours.
Small groups, easy pace
Capped at twelve people so there is room to ask questions, take the photo and actually hear the birds. All fitness levels welcome.
Guided tours
Four routes we keep coming back to
Popular guided tours that fill up fast on weekends. Pick a pace, pick a season — the landscape does the rest.
01
Ridge & River Walk
A gentle morning loop over the ridgeline and down to the river bend, finishing with a picnic by the old stone bridge.
02
Pine Hollow Night Hike
Headlamps on, city lights gone. Learn to read the dark woods with a naturalist guide and finish around a small campfire.
03
Summit Sunrise Trek
An early start for the brave: climb in pre-dawn blue light and watch the valley wake up from the top. Coffee included.
04
Woodland Forage & Walk
Slow travel through the understory with a foraging guide — wild herbs, mushrooms and the stories behind them.
About Trail & Timber
A small outfit with muddy boots and big maps
We started in 2016 with two guides, one battered van and a stubborn belief that the best weekends are spent outside. Today we run outdoor adventures across three valleys, still keeping every group small and every route checked by hand.
Our guided tours are written for people who want to try something new without feeling out of place. First-timers, families, seasoned hikers — there is a trail here with your name on it.
