Your all-encompassing highlight tour of the Smokies in three hours.
Overview
Designed for those who want to experience the highlights of the Smokies within a 3-hour block of time. The perfect match for first-time visitors to the park, and a favorite of annual visitors.
We travel up one of the most scenic roads in the Southeast in comfortable, eco-friendly vans, with ample time at overlooks for pictures, questions, and interpretation. We stop at Newfound Gap, the dedication spot of the National Park, then continue to the North Carolina side for more vistas and the story of how logging shaped the area. On the way down, we choose the stops that best suit your group and finish with short walks beside gorgeous rivers.
After booking you’ll receive preparation guidance, a packing list, and meeting instructions. All participants sign a waiver, and multi-day guests complete a short registration and health form.
