La visite "classique" du parc national

Aperçu
This trip begins as we pickup at our location in Gatlinburg, TN. We travel in comfortable and eco-friendly vans to our first stop at the remains of a long-gone resort town dating back more than 100 years. We'll learn about the history of logging in the Smokies, the lives of the early Appalachian pioneers, and the founding of the national park. From here we'll travel up the mountains on one of the most scenic roads in the southeast. Along the way we'll stop at scenic overlooks for pictures, questions, and interpretation of the area. Finally we arrive at Newfound Gap and the 5,000 foot-high boarder between Tennessee and North Carolina. Here we will learn about the 2,200 mile-long Appalachian Trail and the the site where President Franklin Roosevelt gave the park dedication in 1940.

Our tour guide John was so intelligent and made the trip fun. We did the classic tour and went to an old town (Elkmont) and newfound Gap. We went inside some cabin homes and learned a lot. John took us to a few beautiful scenic overlooks and was gracious taking pictures for us. The drive was beautiful and it was nice not driving.

My husband and I found this to be a wonderful tour. Wes was a very knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. He shared so many interesting facts and you could tell by his enthusiasm that he really loves the Smoky Mountains. This was one of the best tours we have ever been on.
