Debbie was very informative. It was a long walk but was nice because she pointed out things we would not of seen. Walked alongside of the stream.

Nicole and Ken were our guides and it was one of the most memorable family outings. It rained in the morning and others had cancelled out of the hike so we had them both all to ourselves (we took the afternoon hike). Their knowledge had us intrigued the entire hike. From history, to bugs, to trees and edible vegetation (and Taylor Swift, Stranger Things, and other girl talk-thank you Nicole), they were AMAZING guides. We could have just done this hike on our own, but the wealth of knowledge shared and interesting facts about the area made this so much better. I HIGHLY recommend this guided hike to anyone, singles or families. Thank you so much!

Our tour guide Deb was very knowledgeable and provided us with much history of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park and its origin. The hike was fun and informative. The river had some pretty (small but pretty) waterfalls, some pretty butterflies, flowers and plants, We thoroughly enjoyed it and felt safe the entire time.
