We joined Liz for a 3-day excursion with guided hikes through the Big South Fork National Park, staying at Charit Creek Lodge. Liz is an amazing guide - both as a experienced naturalist and hiking guide. You will enjoy hiking at a pace for the entire group, while learning about the world around you on your hike. Liz does an incredible job of coordinating day only or multiple day hikes, providing great packing lists, accommodations, and experiences.
We've been on several guided hikes with Liz now and highly recommend her for a single day hike or multiple day guided trip. She's simply the BEST!

I have made so many life time memories in my beloved Smokies
hiking and camping with Liz. She has empowered me
by teaching me my backcountry skills - I solo hike the rugged backcountry
for weeks at a time thanks to the expertise and confidence I gained under Liz`
tutelage. Whether we are sitting peacefully by a captivating river, identifying a rare
wildflower, she is calling an owl into camp, or she is teaching me (again) the best ways to start a campfire in damp conditions,
Liz is a gentle companion and encyclopedic resource. She can be silent for hours
or impart natural wisdom with depth, whatever your needs on your next hike are!
Whether you are looking for a picturesque day hike or multi night adventure, Liz
is your perfect companion for fun, knoweldge, leadership, humor, and
safety.

Thank you!! I greatly appreciate your thoughtful, supportive recommendation. It is a thrill to have the opportunity to teach, with the result being that you have the skills and confidence to explore the backcountry on your own! We have had some great experiences together, and for that, I am grateful.

Liz has done it again! This was my fifth weeklong hiking trip with Liz in different parts of the country. With her detailed preparation, extensive knowledge as a naturalist, engaging personal style, and passion about sharing the great outdoors with her hikers, she created another wonderful weeklong experience hiking beautiful trails in the Smokies. As usual, she put together a compatible group of fun people which always adds to the pleasure of the experience. All the details of the trip are handled by Liz. For folks interested in a week of day hiking in beautiful surroundings, I would absolutely recommend signing up with Liz for future trips. Next on my agenda is the Sawtooth Mountain trip in Idaho!

I anticipated doing the Finger Lakes Trip with Liz for a whole year. It exceeded my expectations and they had been high! Great hikes, beautiful view after beautiful view, interesting visits to creameries and wineries, discoveries of fascinating off the beaten path places,, June 13-19, 2021 in the Finger Lakes with Just Get Outdoors was a top notch week. Liz is a super guide.

Liz led an amazing backpack experience with cabins, heat and home cooked meals at remote Charit Creek Lodge. Liz’s trail interpretation included plant, animal and geology education that continued to peak my interest. Under a planetarium of stars, nightly campfires and sounds of coyote and Liz calling with Barred Owls were all a real treat. Thanks so much, Liz Domingue!

Thanks a bunch, MTKB. :) It was a pleasure sharing this latest outdoor experience together. The singing coyote was extra special. Looking forward to getting back on the trail with you for more fun adventures.

I’ve been wanting to hike in the Smokies in the Spring to see the wildflowers and get the most from the experience. I found Liz and her company Just Get Outdoors on the Internet; started reading about her, we spoke and I was sold! Just spent three days in the Park with Liz as our guide. What a great three days! Before the trip Liz asked about our interests, our fitness level and then thoughtfully planned a perfect three days. Liz has an encyclopedic knowledge of plants, animals, habitats, history and more, which she shared according to our interests. She shared great photography and binoculars tips. Liz knew the trails that would be most interesting at this time of year - where there would be fewer people - and she got us there before the parking lots were full! Liz’s focus for the three days was to be sure that we had the experience we wanted. She was thoughtful, low key and a pleasure to be with. Next stop for me: I’ll join one of Liz’s guided trips somewhere else in the country.

If you are looking for an amazing outdoor/nature experience, look no further than Liz and Just Get Outdoors. Liz is an amazingly knowledgeable naturalist and guide. Her trips provide a real education into the floral, fauna, and geology of that particular region. And her hikes are not rushed with the destination as the primary goal. She spends time educating you on interesting things that you discover on your trek. Besides that, Liz coordinates most of the trip details including lodging, meals, packing lists, etc.
My first trip with Liz and Just Get Outdoors was to Glacier National Park in 2018. I was so impressed, and enjoyed the trip so much, that I have just completed my third, but not last, adventure with Liz to Big South Fork and Charit Creek Lodge.
I HIGHLY recommend Liz and Just Get Outdoors for your outdoor adventures.

I would highly recommend Just Get Outdoors. Liz is an excellent guide, and her knowledge on flora and fauna is extensive. She is fun to be with, and she makes efforts to ensure everybody is happy and satisfied during the trip. The small group makes it more personalized, and our group was great. Her pre-trip correspondence was informative, and post trip, she sent pictures she took that included us personally. A large tour group wouldn't do that.

Liz made the hikes so interesting as there doesn't seem to be a bird, flower or tree she doesn't have some information to share. The weather was great and the group was very friendly. The hikes planned were very pleasant. Its a slow pace at times, but you learn a lot. We started out at the Sinks and learned about the Walker Sisters, then ended the week with a visit to their old house in the National Park. Very interesting.

Just returned along with a friend from our first ever backpacking trip led by Liz in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It exceeded all my expectations in every good way! Liz is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge about the natural world and her joy and enthusiasm and generosity in sharing that knowledge are truly special. My friend and I also now feel competent to go backpacking on our own and are planning our next trip! I recommend Just Get Outdoors for anyone craving outdoor adventure and learning.
