They also offer three driving self-guided hiking tours in Yosemite, Death Valley and the Smoky Mountains.

Review of Timberline Adventures Website
Timberline Adventures has a simple user-friendly site. All of the important details are easy to find and they are clear about what’s included in the cost and what’s not. There are plenty of photos and they have a Flickr account for guests to share their own photos. We especially like that they list the trails by name and links to accommodations in their itineraries. They have an active Discussion Board which is how you’ll see what trips are currently being planned or small groups being developed.
