Blue Ridge & Great Smoky Mountains Women's Walking & Hiking
5 days 4 nights Itinerary
National Park Adventures in North Carolina & Tennessee
Seeing the deep-blue hue of the Blue Ridge Mountains from afar and the misty, smoke-like fog that envelopes the Great Smokies at dawn are just a couple of reasons why this area ranks high on our list of cherished hiking spots. After you wander through the trails blanketed in rhododendron, experience the refreshing spray of waterfalls, and take in the sprawling valleys and commanding silhouettes of the Appalachian range, we're convinced it will earn a spot on your list of favorites too.
Highlights

Trek along forested paths in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, a sanctuary for elk, black bears, and more than 200 species of birds.
Swing leisurely on porch swings at quaint cabins nestled in the woods, and indulge in delicious Southern cuisine.
Hike across elevated alpine forests, beside untouched streams and rivers, and through the untouched natural landscapes of the Appalachian Trail.
