Eremos | Experience the Wilderness | Three ways to experience the wilderness

Guided hiking experiences in East Tennessee and Southern Appalachia

Each guided hiking experience is not a different direction, but a different depth of the same invitation… to step away, slow down, and listen.

Not sure where to start?

Half-Day Hikes are the most accessible entry into Eremos. From there, each step offers more time, more simplicity, and more space to pay attention to God on the trail.

You don’t need to choose perfectly. You only need to begin.
