Imagine…showing up to camp with top-of-the-line gear set up and prepared before your arrival. The tables set for breakfast and dinner day. A local guide, with wilderness medicine certifications, takes you out on daily trips to see the backcountry surrounding you. Full shuttle service provided for you after you arrive. The only necessary gear you will need is your personal clothing and hygiene items as well as comfort food.

These trips come fully outfitted. Large sleep tents. 4 season group tent as you would see on the glaciers of Mt Everest. Rain shelters. Full food logistics. Daily trips from the base camp.

One of the best parts of our job are the variety of people we get to meet! Everyone chooses to hike the Smoky Mountains for their own personal reasons. Some are taking a break from the busy and want to connect with nature. Others are looking for ways to stay active. Many of our guest are here for the awesome landscapes and want to capture that beauty. Community, challenge, bonding, and learning are other very common reasons for hiking.

We want to get to know you a little better, what is your motive? Why do you hike?

Thank you Renee H. for your wonderful review! "We just took the classic tour last week and it was perfect. Our group consisted of two seniors, two adults and one 8 year old and it was fun for all of us. Clayton was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable and told us so many fun facts. We all agree that when we come back to the area we will book another classic tour. Clayton, thank you again for a very enjoyable trip." #smokymountainguides #greatsmokymountains #tnhiking #gatlinburg #themountainsarecalling #adventure #hiking
