Hiking

From the foothills to the mountain tops, hiking is one of our favorite year-round activities. With our on-property trail system of more than 12 miles, and over 900 miles of trails in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, our opportunities are endless. The foothills and mountains of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park are rich with history and natural beauty, and our Adventure team loves nothing more than crafting experiences to share bits and pieces of all. Our local guides love to share stories and tales of local history and lore along with knowledgeable information on plant and animal life. From ridgetop vistas to waterfalls and wildflowers, we love to help create experiences that ensure your days on the trails are just as you envisioned.
