Thundering Streams and Falls of the Smokies Guided Hiking Tour

Thundering Streams and Falls of the Smokies Guided Hiking Tour

Overview

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. **Please note: The Great Smoky Mountains National Park will require parking tags for any vehicle stopping longer than 15 minutes.

We enjoyed a beautiful morning with Mike as our guide. He quickly connected with our 13 and 10 y/o (note the stream play and even natural ‘war paint’ ;)). We would definitely recommend him and this hike to anyone!

Dylan was great. A perfect hike for the family. We learned a lot and were able to get off the busier paths. Thanks Dylan. Well worth the cost.

Our guide was Charles and he was fantastic! We loved going off the beaten path and ending up at a secluded waterfall- it was so beautiful! Charles was very knowledgeable teaching us about lots of plants along the way. A challenging hike and well worth it. Our 3 kids (17, 19 and 21 years old) also loved it- our favorite day of vacation.
