I cannot recommend Navitat enough. This is one of my go-to trips for my school group, typically paired with a visit to Mars Hill College, UNCA, etc. In fact, we just returned from another visit yesterday. I have taken several groups and (of all the travels we do with our group) this is generally one of their favorite events. The staff is very knowledgeable, friendly, entertaining, and accommodating with my students - learning everyone in the group by name. The students came expecting adventure, but also gained lots of insight about the NC mountains, ecology, wildlife, physics, and more - plus some great memories of a wonderful time with friends in one of the most beautiful places on Earth. If you have not yet been, stop thinking about it - the mountains are calling, and you must go!
