Thundering Streams and Falls of the Smokies Guided Hiking Tour

Overview
**All participants will be required to wear a mask for any instances where close contact cannot be avoided and in any Park building. Please bring your own masks and hand sanitizer. You will also be asked to sign an acknowledgement of risks and report any illness within 14 days of tour.**
With 3100 miles of streams in the Smokies, there are thousands of beautiful stretches of white water. Adventure awaits as you explore the magic of pristine cascades and waterfalls on a little known trail. We'll warm up on a more popular trail, pausing to enjoy smaller cascades before turning onto a less traveled section of the Park. In the winter, we'll enjoy beautiful glimpses of the surrounding mountains, during the spring we'll pause to enjoy our famous wildflower display, summer brings refreshing swimming holes and in autumn the beauty of changing leaves. This hike is considered moderately adventurous as we gain elevation, climb over downed trees and get our feet wet.

We met our guide, Connor, who drove us up to the trail head. We had a very nice 3 mile hike up into the woods where we saw several waterfalls. Connor was an excellent guide he was very knowledgeable I was able to set a comfortable pace for us. I would highly recommend this guided tour as it took us to places we might not have seen and we try to do it on our own.

Lucy was an excellent tour guide. She was professional, prompt, knowledgeable, attentive, kind, and patient. My parents and I enjoyed our first time hike in the Smoky Mountains and took Lucyā€™s suggestion to continue driving to NC to the Cherokee reservation. It was a nice addition to our vacation.
