Höjdpunkter
Sightseeing in the “high elevations” of the Great Smoky Mountains can be an experience that won’t soon be forgotten. We travel past the Appalachian Trail and traverse the Crest of the Smokies as we take in the sights above 5000 ft. You will gain facts of the area from your guide that will make these mountains come alive with Native American stories and geographical facts. We travel into the North Carolina side of the National Park to take in the vistas and learn about the impact logging had to the area. You will be amazed how the forest has reclaimed itself over the years. Our goal for this trip is to arrive at the Clingmans Dome parking area and gift shop. This is the highest point in the National Park at 6,643′. If the weather permits, we'll take an optional short walk through the spruce-fir forest and learn about this unique environment.

Rutt
Newfound Gap Road is one of the most scenic drives in the southeast. We'll make the 13-mile long drive out of the Sugarlands Valley while we learn about the people, plants, animals, and history of the Great Smoky Mountains. Along the way we'll stop at several scenic overlooks for photos of the towering mountains and dark, shaded valleys.
The highest point in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, this mountain provides sweeping views of as many as seven states. We'll walk among the spruce and fir trees and enjoy the cool mountain air as we learn about the place the Cherokee called Kuwahi.
Deep in the mountains at a height of more than 5,000 feet we'll stand on the state line while looking down the the Sugarland Valley to our north and the Oconaluftee Valley to the south. The famous 2,200 mile-long Appalachian Trail passes through this point next to the stone stage where President Franklin Roosevelt gave the Great Smoky Mountain National Park dedication.

5Great time with Kindal!
Kindal was great! Very informative and pleasant to be around.
5Beautiful and interesting tour!
My friend and I had a wonderful tour this morning with our guide, Jay. It was our first time in Tennessee and we learned a lot as Jay knows the park very well, including the types of trees and plants there, along with interesting information about the bears and other animals who reside in the park. We had the chance to see a couple of elks along the way which was fun. It was raining so we were thankful to stay dry in the van and had our umbrella ready for the stops, where Jay kindly took our pictures. Would highly recommend this tour!!
5Our Guide was Outstanding!
Our guide, Lydia was outstanding. She was knowledgeable, friendly and imparted so much great information. We enjoyed every minute of our time in the Smokies! Thank you!
5Great Morning in the Smokey Mountains Park
Jay was very kind and very knowledgeable about the park. He share a lot if great in information with us. We enjoyed our tour very much.
5Great Morning Tour
We did the 9am tour with Mark and he was a great tour guide! He was knowledgeable about the area and the sites we were visiting. The weather was great too!
5Beautiful Views and Awesome Tour Guide
My fiancé is a wildlife/landscape photographer so he booked this tour for us. I didn’t think I would like it as much as I did. The views are breathtaking! Our tour was about 4 hours and it didn’t feel that long. Wes was our guide and he was amazing. He is very funny and knowledgeable about the land and the history. He was very patient and offered water along the way. There are restrooms along the stop which I was curious about before taking the tour. We are planning to take the same tour with SMG again in the fall season. I would even be comfortable doing a guided hike with them as well.
