This was the best way to start our adventure, experiencing the Smokies. Eric was our tour guide, and he was great. He was very knowledgeable about the area, both the natural history and early settlement. We were travelling with boys 7 and 11.

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!
