This trip begins as we pickup at our location in Gatlinburg, TN. We travel in comfortable and eco-friendly vans to our first stop at the remains of a long-gone resort town dating back more than 100 years. We'll learn about the history of logging in the Smokies, the lives of the early Appalachian pioneers, and the founding of the national park. From here we'll travel up the mountains on one of the most scenic roads in the southeast. Along the way we'll stop at scenic overlooks for pictures, questions, and interpretation of the area. Finally we arrive at Newfound Gap and the 5,000 foot-high boarder between Tennessee and North Carolina. Here we will learn about the 2,200 mile-long Appalachian Trail and the the site where President Franklin Roosevelt gave the park dedication in 1940.

This was the perfect way for us to see the Smokies as a non-local. The booking process was easy, and they do send reminder emails and confirmations as well as detailed instructions which are helpful. Our guides were very knowledgeable and took great care in providing us with the best possible experience (Phillip and Kendall) Unless you are very familiar with the area, I would recommend a guided tour. You are NOT going to want to deal with driving in this park. There are sooo many people, even in April when we went. Having someone tell you about all the landmarks AND navigate the park for you in my opinion is the only way to go, and when I return, I’m calling these guys up to take me around.

We had a wonderful experience touring the park with Kindel. It was so much more enjoyable to tour the park with a knowledgeable guide and to not have to worry about driving ourselves. Highly recommend!

My family and I booked the Classic over the MLK holiday. Kindel reached out the day before and coordinated the place and time to meet. She was right on time! Many roads were closed due to weather and snow but she made it happen! We even got to hike up one of her special places to get an amazing view of the mountains! Kindel was kind and very engaging! Her outlook on life and nature was special and made us all feel like family. We look to come back and hike and want to be sure Kindel is our guide.
