We had an awesome day spent with Mark & Joanie visiting waterfalls and craft breweries. They picked us up at our rental cabin and dropped us off there at the end of the tour. It was a relaxing day with short hikes to the falls.
Mark was very knowledgeable in the history of the area and identification of trees and wildflowers. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and would highly recommend Carolina Bound Adventures for any tour they offer.

We absolutely loved this tour! Mark and Sarah were our guides and they were so knowledgeable and enthusiastic, it was an absolute blast. If you are in Bryson City, you have to take this tour. Great Smokey Mountains National Park was such a special place. We learned so much from Mark and Sarah while we were on the hike. We cannot wait to come back and do it again. Take the tour!
