Hiking Week     July 7 - 12, 2008

“The trails you chose were great.  Lots of diversity." 

"This was AWESOME! I can definitely see why people come back year after year.”

Each day of Naturalist Hiking Week features two hike choices and a “day off” activity; all led by experienced educators who offer insight into the wonders of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Hikes are moderate to strenuous and 6 – 14 miles over rugged mountainous terrain. Day off activities may include easy nature walks, ecology field trips, tours of historic areas, or arts classes.  Participants may create their favorite combination from all the week’s offerings, but must be in good physical condition to participate in the hikes. Evening activities include guest lecturers, musical entertainment, night walks, and more! Program lasts from Monday supper to Saturday lunch. Cost: $370.
