WHY A NORTH CAROLINA HIKING VACATION?
The mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee offer a wealth of opportunities for a rich and rewarding hiking vacation. Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a lush, stunning national park with a phenomenal network of hiking trails that take adventurous visitors to waterfalls, breathtaking viewpoints, high mountain ridges, deep valleys, incredibly biodiverse ecosystems, and historical sites. The Blue Ridge Mountains outside Asheville offer many of the same highlights but with fewer people and amazing geologic phenomena. The opportunity to explore these eastern mountains is one our guests remember forever.
