The name Cedar Rock has meaning. The first trip I offered was a guided 4th class hike/climb up Cedar Rock Mountain in Pisgah National Forest. This is also the name of the Outward Bound basecamp where I guided many summer backpacking expeditions. It ignited my passion for leading groups into the outdoors. Check out our Asheville brewery tours by raft and canoe and our guided hikes in Pisgah. Join us in my favorite place by booking your tour online!
