Discover the Smokies Through a Guide's Passion
The Great Smoky Mountains are one of the most diverse and fascinating landscapes in North America. From wildflowers and waterfalls to old-growth forests, mountain history, wildlife, and hidden corners of the park, there is always something new to discover.
Our Specialty Tours are designed around the unique passions and expertise of our guides. These are the subjects they can’t stop talking about—the things that first inspired them to become guides in the Smokies.
Want to stand beneath some of the largest trees in the eastern United States? Mike is your guide. Curious about the stories of the families who once called these mountains home? Samantha loves bringing Smoky Mountain history to life. Looking for a Girl Scout adventure, a creative nature experience, or a deeper understanding of the park’s wildlife? We have guides who specialize in those too.
These aren’t just hikes—they are immersive experiences built around a guide’s favorite Smoky Mountain subjects. Every Specialty Tour combines beautiful scenery, expert interpretation, and the enthusiasm of someone who genuinely loves sharing what makes this park extraordinary.
Join us and discover the Smokies through the eyes of the people who know and love them best.
