Great guides and fantastic experience that I will never forget. The hike was a great team builder but also a great time for self-reflection—when you can truly be still. I am forever grateful to Frontline Freedom for providing such a unique opportunity. Just when you think you can’t-you can!!

Thank you to David, Mike, and all the Frontline Freedom guides that took us on this adventure. It was a beautiful weekend to experience the mountains of Virginia, and have a needed reset after 7-weeks of training.
