Visite en voiture des points forts
Description
Faire du tourisme dans les «hautes altitudes» des Great Smoky Mountains peut être une expérience qui ne sera pas oubliée de sitôt. Nous passons par le sentier des Appalaches et traversons la crête des Smokies tout en admirant les vues au-dessus de 5 000 pieds. Votre guide vous fera découvrir des faits sur la région qui donneront vie à ces montagnes avec des histoires amérindiennes et des faits géographiques. Nous voyageons du côté de la Caroline du Nord du parc national pour admirer les panoramas et en apprendre davantage sur l'impact de l'exploitation forestière sur la région. Vous serez étonné de voir comment la forêt s'est régénérée au fil des ans. Notre objectif pour ce voyage est d'arriver au parking et à la boutique de cadeaux du Clingmans Dome. C'est le point culminant du parc national à 6 643 ′. Si le temps le permet, nous ferons une courte promenade facultative à travers la forêt d'épinettes et de sapins et découvrirons cet environnement unique.

Itinéraire
Newfound Gap Road est l'une des routes les plus pittoresques du sud-est. Nous ferons le trajet de 21 km en voiture hors de la vallée de Sugarlands tout en découvrant les habitants, les plantes, les animaux et l'histoire des Great Smoky Mountains. En chemin, nous nous arrêterons à plusieurs points de vue panoramiques pour prendre des photos des montagnes imposantes et des vallées sombres et ombragées.
Point culminant du parc national des Great Smoky Mountains, cette montagne offre une vue imprenable sur sept États. Nous marcherons parmi les épinettes et les sapins et profiterons de l'air frais de la montagne tout en découvrant l'endroit que les Cherokee appelaient Kuwahi.
Profondément dans les montagnes à une hauteur de plus de 5 000 pieds, nous nous tiendrons sur la ligne d'état tout en regardant la vallée de Sugarland au nord et la vallée d'Oconaluftee au sud. Le célèbre sentier des Appalaches, long de 2 200 milles, passe par ce point à côté de la scène en pierre où le président Franklin Roosevelt a donné l'inauguration du parc national des Great Smoky Mountain.

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.
we can’t wait to have you back in the fall. You will love it. It will look like a whole different park. Let’s get you on one of our hikes. It is a fulfilling experience.
This is an excellent tour to the highest points in the Great Smokey Mt National Park. There is a steep paved walk up to the observation area of about 1/2 mile but there are benches to rest along the way. Our guide, Rick, was great. We stopped at quite a few areas for photos before reaching the top. Rick was knowledgeable and fun and offered to take our photos at every stop. Great tour to avoid parking problems due to the large crowds in the Park. The scenery was amazing.
So thankful you saw this tour as a great value
Rick was an amazing guide. Very informative, professional, personable and prompt. Would easily book again if I'm back in the area
Lets go again. Would love to.
Wonderful excursion. Very interesting. Guide was very knowledgeable and readily answered any questions.
So happy you had a great High Points Tour. Thank you for booking with us.
The views were spectacular! Our guide was so sweet and knowledgeable! She was very helpful with mobility issues with one member of our party. It was a little rainy so we didn’t walk around as much as we would have if it was not raining but the views with the rain and the clouds allowed us to see “The Smokey’s” at their best!
Thank you for touring with us! We couldn't agree more - the Smokies are just as beautiful in the clouds as they are in the sunshine! It is a special experience indeed.
We were all glad we booked with SMG! Best way to see the park - with someone else driving and with a guide that can explain what you are seeing. Our guide, Philip, was a walking encyclopedia of knowledge about everything related to the park. The geography, the history, plants, animals, the Cherokee. We will definitely do another tour with SMG! The price was very reasonable and a bargain for the quality.
Thank you for touring with us. Our guides are historians and naturalists who truly enjoy sharing their love of the Smokies with guests. We look forward to seeing you again.
Perfect way to see the literal high points of the park. Our guide was full of good history and stories about the people and the region. Clean and roomy van. Worth every penny.
So glad you enjoyed your tour! Thank you for booking with us.
This is a totally wonderful trip!! We got to the top of Smoky at 6710 feet, the view is absolutely stunning!! Our tour guide Wes is terrific, we love this trip❤️❤️。A LOT!!!
Thank you for touring with us. Glad you enjoyed your tour with Wes.
The driver was very knowledgable & patient with us.
Thank you for touring with us. Our guides love the national park and enjoy sharing it with our guests.
Lydia was amazing. Took us to see amazing views and more importantly shared a lot of history and current information along the way. Not only did she keep my interest the whole time but also the 4 teenagers in our group. This was our most favorite thing we did on our trip.
So great to hear this was a favorite aspect of your entire vacation. Great to have you.
