Specialty and Seasonal Tours

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is known for their biodiversity in every season. Here, we’ll showcase some of our favorite hikes for the seasons, as well as, some of our guides and their specialty tours.

Our guides love to ‘geek’ out about a wide range of Smokies topics. Mike loves big trees, Sam is a history nerd, Deb loves Girl Scouts and art, Luci loves bears… You get the idea.

When you take a specialty tour with A Walk in the Woods, you are getting an excursion curated specifically by that guide to incorporate everything that gets them excited about their job.
