Whether you're just looking for a shuttle ride to the top of the mountain or want a guide to take you on pre-planned routes, we can take you to the best trails and roads around.

As permitted guides and shuttle operators in the George Washington and Jefferson National Forest, we take the guesswork out of your visit to the Shenandoah Valley.

Shuttle Services

We operate Private and Open Shuttles of up to 12 people in the George Washington and Jefferson National Forest at a variety of locations.

We have regularly scheduled Open Shuttles for select trails, and folks can book a seat anytime. Most Open Shuttle routes require at least intermediate level skills.

Be sure to subscribe to our email list to find out when we offer new routes and add dates to the shuttle calendar.

If you'd like to hire a private shuttle for yourself or a group of friends outside of our regular Open Shuttle schedule or want more challenging options, just fill out the Private Guide/Shuttle Request Form with the relevant information.

Select Appropriate Routes

A guide and shuttle operator with local knowledge will be able to select trails and roads that most appropriately match your skill level, the current conditions, and your desired experience.

Support the Forest Service

As permitted operators, we give 3% of our annual revenue from guiding and shuttling back to the Forest Service that issues our permit. We're happy to support our local forest infrastructure.

Reduce Risk

A guide and shuttle operator can reduce risk by selecting appropriate terrain, knowing where you are located, having backcountry first aid skills and having emergency action plans.
