The Wilderness Guru — Attraction in Millinocket

I participated in a group hike to the summit of Katahdin on 8/5/23. It was a 100 % positive experience! Everything was super organized, from pre-hike exercise suggestions, detailed packing list to lodging suggestions ect.

My wife and I just spent 5 days in Baxter State Park, October 2022. I had my initial consultation with Tori by phone, she listened closely to the activities that we were interested in pursuing. She then put together an itinerary for all of our time considering our desires and abilities. We were on our own except for one day when she took us on a guided hike. She is professional, knowledgeable and provides a very enjoyable experience. We were given a folder of detailed information including descriptions, maps, and other local information. Her personal planning services and her guided hike were both a very good value. I...
