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.

Itinerario
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.

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.
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.
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!!!
The driver was very knowledgable & patient with us.
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.
This was an amazing tour-highly recommend it! Beautiful scenery and we loved how informative our driver was. Jay was an amazing guide and provided so much information and insight into the beautiful mountain experience!! This is a must do!
Sooooo glad you joined us.
We enjoyed our tour and we were lucky to have almost perfect weather. Our guide Jay, was very nice and knowledgeable about the area throughout the tour. We were disappointed that we only had 15 to 20 minutes at Clingman’s Dome/Kuwohi. The itinerary on Booking.com as well as TripAdvisor says the tour stops there for 60 minutes, so we expected to be able to hike the area or go to Clingman’s Dome. We did stop at Elkmont Ghost Town, which was interesting. After the tour, I went back to review the itinerary to see if I misread something, I had not. I’m giving a five star review because we did really enjoy the tour despite having incorrect information on the itinerary. My suggestion is you update your description to match the one on both Viator’s and the Smokey Mountain Guides websites.
Hi there. Great feedback. As our tours are often dynamic in nature, each tour may slightly be different. We will audit these descriptions and adjust. Thanks again for the heads up and honest feedback.
Very relaxing beautiful drive. Had scenic stops with great pictures taken. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history and where the perfect views were. Very friendly.
Great to hear you had a good trip with SMG
Our guide,Kyndel, was friendly,funny, and knowledgeable. She never rushed us. We loved her! We learned a lot about the flora and history of the area. Even though we had to cancel a guided hike the next day due to weather,she texted directions for a couple of short hikes we could fit in ourselves that same day. The only thing I would have liked was a couple more pull overs for views.
We are grateful you joined us and that Kindel served you well.
Very easy, educational way to see the peaks and travel through the Smokeys, nice easy ride and our guide was very knowledgeable.
Nice and easy. Great to hear your feedback
