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.

The views were very nice and learned about the history of the park. Conner was totally awesome. Having Conner is a great asset to your hike. He is very knowledgeable about the history of the park. He will go at your pace.

Our tour guide Anna was fantastic! So glad we had her expertise to find some great trails and get some fantastic photos of our family! We would have never known how to navigate such an overwhelmingly huge park without her!

We didn't do this trip as our guide never showed up due to a glitz when we registered. We ended up going with Ben, who was there to lead his trip so we joined them. Ben was excellent as was the hike.
