What To Expect

Get ready to shift into adventure mode on your Off-Road Backroads Jeep Tour, a high-energy, 3-hour ride through the wild terrain of Pisgah or Nantahala National Forests. Designed for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike, this open-air jeep experience takes you deep into the rugged backcountry, far from the pavement and into the heart of Appalachia. Tackle a mix of technical trails, muddy tracks, and elevation climbs as you wind through dense forest, rocky paths, and hidden hollows. Along the way, you’ll stop at unforgettable viewpoints—like a 5,000+ foot mountain summit—or explore off-the-grid sites like historic homesteads tucked deep in the woods.

What an amazing afternoon! We hit the jackpot with everything. The leaves were at peak at the highest elevations, the weather was beautiful , the air was cool, and our guides Rich and Meatball were a blast. Rich was knowledgeable, a safe driver and very friendly. Meatball was just laid back and chill and loves peanut butter crackers. Highly recommend this tour with this duo, you will love it!
Great tour. Beautiful views

Had a great time! Meatballs is the best copilot ever! Be aware this is a jeep tour, not an ATV tour.

Rich, Meatball, and Anna were amazing! My best friend and I had our first guys weekend in over 20 years. I took him to Asheville to experience the absolute beauty of the region, and the weather was PERFECT. We signed up for a jeep tour to maximize the introduction to the Pisgah National Forest. Rich and Anna really knew the area, and took us to some absolutely stunning spots! I will say this though, Meatball was the only one that gave me a kiss goodbye !
Great waterfalls on this tour along with great Mountain View’s.

The trip was just my wife and I with no one else on board since, we went the last week of August on a Wednesday. Rich was very knowledgeable about the area and the waterfalls that we were taken to were exceptional. Very comfortable ride also.
