Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Drive through the lush forest of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park on our way to Kuwohi Mountain. Roadside waterfalls flowing from the mountains, and a beautiful rocky river follow along the side of the road allow many opportunities to take pictures along the way. It is also possible to see Elk, deer, and wild turkeys.
At the Oconaluftee Visitor Center it is possible to see Elk grazing in the pasture. We will stop briefly to use the facilities and enjoy the gift shop.
Transporation is provided to these attractions in our 15 passenger transit van.

We had the most amazing time with Phil and Tonia! They are local experts and are so fun. We went to Kuwohi Mountain Tower, and also checked out Mingo Falls in Cherokee. I highly highly recommend!

Great locally owned tour company and guide. Knowledgeable of unknown and unique spots. History and legends from a hometown perspective. Very good at answering questions about the area. We would highly recommend this tour.
