What better way is there to enjoy early fall than with a group of adventurous women on the trail and around the campfire? Climb mountains, ford streams, and recharge your batteries while marveling at the natural wonders around you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Join two experienced naturalist guides and discover the beauty of Great Smoky Mountains National Park firsthand during this three-day (two-night) beginner backpacking adventure. Our naturalists will provide the tools you need to succeed during this adventure, including \u201chow-to\u201d information, permits, food, transportation to and from the trail, and group equipment (including tents, cooking equipment, backpacks, and sleeping pads.) They\u2019ll also provide extensive knowledge of the Smokies ecosystem we will be traveling through. All you need is a desire for adventure, a willingness to learn, personal clothing, and a sleeping bag.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No former backpacking experience is needed, but you should be physically and mentally prepared to carry a 40-pound backpack for 5-8 miles a day over rugged, mountainous terrain. The route is different every year and there is no easy terrain in the Smoky Mountains. You can expect moderate difficulty and total mileage between 15-20 miles over the weekend. We hope that you will leave feeling accomplished and ready to continue exploring the mountains on your own.<\/span><\/p>\n

What can you expect? We will start our trip at Tremont Institute, where we will help you pack your gear, go over our route, and get to know the other women you will be traveling with. The next morning, we\u2019ll enjoy breakfast and then we\u2019re off! The first day is generally no more than 5 miles \u2013 this will allow us some relaxation time at our first campsite. The second day is designed to provide a little more challenge and may be as long as 6-8 mountainous miles. On our final day, we will hike 5-7 miles, generally on easier terrain so that we can return to Tremont with time for showers and goodbyes before your departure.<\/span><\/p>\n

It will be a challenge, but one that results in memories – and outdoor skills – that last a lifetime. <\/span><\/p>\n
