My wife and I are not hikers by any means but wanted to experience the Smokey Mountains in a different way during our visit to Tennessee. We signed up for A Walk in the Woods last week and met at the appropriate location. We were met by our guide, Tillie, only to find that we were the only ones on the tour! How lucky for us! We had a personal hike with a knowledgeable, friendly, and kind young lady that could easily have been our daughter. We drove to the start of the trail then strolled up the trail, stopping to look at different trees and plants, a cemetery, relics from the early settlers until we reached an old barn from a hundred years ago where we took shelter from a sudden downpour which lasted until our tour ended. Tillie was a wonderful guide and we are so glad we did this little hike and it gave us a great opportunity to meet a nice young lady and to learn a little bit about the Smoky Mountains. This was just the right pace for non hikers and was a great way to get "into the woods"!
