It is true what they say! These native black vans don’t need to hibernate through Winter due to the adventures they seek on snowy 🥶 days! They feed on whatever they find and seek out shuttling people on corporate retreats, weddings, holiday parties, but most of all they get adventurers to a trailhead! #winter #wildernessresorts #winterwonderland #transport #transportation #smokymountains #smokymountainsnationalpark #adventure #gatlinburg #828isgreat #asheville #blueridgemountains

It's going to be a snowy weekend in the Smokies! Hazardous conditions are expected on our roads and trails. Use extreme caution if you choose to visit the park. Mountains, snow and ice are a dangerous combination so drive with extra care; keep updated on the latest road conditions on Twitter @SmokiesRoadsNPS.
