You WILL See Elk!

Bryan, the guide, is a pro. He knows the area so well, shares local and Cherokee history, fun facts, and is so kind and attentive to everyone. What a terrific driver, too. The views are watercolor perfection. We saw single elk and groups of elk, even one in town! HIghly recommend this trip. This trip also provides a good overview of the area if you want to come back another time and explore on your own.

Three hours well-spent!

A fantastic experience -- visually and educationally! We had a perfect weather day for our excursion. It was early spring in the mountains; the trees and flowers were just beginning to bloom. Our knowledgable guide, Bryan, shared many facts and stories about the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians. We learned so much! You will thorougly enjoy spending several hours with him and driving through the mountains of western NC.
