We had a great time hiking with our guide, who was kind and informative! She took us to a trail in the Smokies we might never found on our own (as city people), and was attentive and patient. We took a beautiful hike, learned about the wildlife and history of the park, and got a pic for our holiday card too. Kids reported it was their favorite activity of the trip (this may have had to do with the lizard spotting we did at some of the streams). Recommend!

Ashlyn, a native of the area, was an amazing historical and ecological guide for our hike. We never felt rushed, she was full of woodland knowledge, and we truly enjoyed ourselves!

Guide understood our interests and needs, was very knowledgeable and so polite! Picked us up on time and returned us on time. We loved learning about the bontanical aspects of the national park and the socio-cultural background of Elkmont. Highly recommend.
