Great Smoky Mtns: Folklore Flora Fauna - Storytelling Hikes｜United States

Embark on a guided hike or stroll through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Choose from a selection of hikes to waterfalls, historical structures, and vistas, or customize your trip to suit your interests, walking ability, and desired duration. The pace for folks is generally about 30 minutes per mile, so given the fitness level of your group, we can hike up to 4-5 miles for the hikes listed here. You can call us for a shorter distance request before you book.

As you explore, learn about the park’s wildlife, including black bears, elk, coyotes, and bobcats. Discover the history of the red wolf population and the rare synchronous lightning bugs.

Cryptids, ghost stories and Appalachian/Cherokee folklore your thing? We got you.

Hear about the medicinal plants used by the Cherokee and the history of the park from your guide, who is trained and certified as a Wilderness First Responder and has 11 years of experience in leading outdoor trips.

If we do not offer a date and time that works for you, please reach out for a custom time.
