Leave the road far behind for stress free, guided backpacking in the Smoky Mountains. New to Backpacking? Avoid the growing pains of learning backpacking skills through the school of hard knocks. Our groups are small enough to allow us to get to know each other and to travel as a team while gaining confidence and trust in the process. Wilderness backpacking is the most rewarding way to experience a bit of real America. Because you do it on your own two feet, you’ll take home a dramatic sense of accomplishment that flows into your daily life. Been backpacking for years? Try traveling with your own naturalist, learning more about the forest you love. You’ll learn how to identify plants useful for food and medicine and what to do if lost in the woods. Additionally, learn how to avoid getting struck by lightening during a thunderstorm, how to cure headaches naturally and everything you need to make your trips through the wilderness safer and more enjoyable.

Brian was awesome! Very knowledgeable. Took time during our hike to point out so many different plants in the area and educate the us about the surrounding forest. I would 100% recommend him if you are new to backpacking.

We hired a walk-in in the woods to shuttle us to and from the trillium gap trail for an overnight trip to the lodge on Mt Leconte. They were in time for pick up at the hotel and the trail, professional, good drivers, and polite. The office staff was responsive and courteous. The pricing was reasonable. Would 100 percent recommend and would absolutely book them again on our next hike. Don’t stress about parking and driving after a long hike, best decision on our trip.
