Tour di guida dei punti più alti
Descrizione
Visitare le "alture" delle Great Smoky Mountains può essere un'esperienza che non sarà presto dimenticata. Attraversiamo l'Appalachian Trail e attraversiamo la Crest of the Smokies mentre osserviamo i panorami sopra i 5000 piedi. Otterrai informazioni sull'area dalla tua guida che renderanno queste montagne vive con le storie dei nativi americani e i fatti geografici. Viaggiamo nel lato del Parco Nazionale della Carolina del Nord per ammirare i panorami e conoscere l'impatto che il disboscamento ha avuto sull'area. Rimarrai stupito di come la foresta si sia bonificata nel corso degli anni. Il nostro obiettivo per questo viaggio è arrivare al parcheggio e al negozio di articoli da regalo di Clingmans Dome. Questo è il punto più alto del Parco Nazionale a 6.643′. Se il tempo lo permette, faremo una breve passeggiata facoltativa attraverso la foresta di abeti rossi e conosceremo questo ambiente unico.

Newfound Gap Road è una delle strade più panoramiche del sud-est. Faremo il viaggio di 13 miglia fuori dalla Sugarlands Valley mentre impariamo a conoscere le persone, le piante, gli animali e la storia delle Great Smoky Mountains. Lungo la strada ci fermeremo in diversi punti panoramici per le foto delle montagne imponenti e delle valli scure e ombreggiate.
Il punto più alto del Parco Nazionale delle Great Smoky Mountains, questa montagna offre ampie vedute di ben sette stati. Cammineremo tra gli abeti e gli abeti e ci godremo la fresca aria di montagna mentre impariamo a conoscere il luogo che i Cherokee chiamavano Kuwahi.
Nelle profondità delle montagne a un'altezza di oltre 5.000 piedi ci troveremo sul confine di stato mentre osserveremo la Sugarland Valley a nord e la Oconaluftee Valley a sud. Il famoso Appalachian Trail, lungo 2.200 miglia, passa attraverso questo punto vicino al palco di pietra dove il presidente Franklin Roosevelt ha dedicato la dedica del Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

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.
