Excellent hike, Lydia was an excellent guide and friend to me and my daughter for the day. It was so nice to not be on the paved path with everyone else in the world.

On this hike a knowledgeable guide will discuss the plant and animal life of the Great Smoky Mountains as well as the history of the people that called this area home. We'll hike the highest section of the Appalachian Trail through dense spruce-fir forest and climb the Clingmans Dome observation tower at 6,643 feet for a 360 degree view of the Great Smoky Mountains.

Clingman's Dome is in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains and is worth the hike. A little bit strenuous, but worth the trek. They have a small, but plenty of room to view the mountain tops and the vastness of the mountain range. Great place to take photos.

We had a wonderful experience exploring the Smoky Mountains with Smoky Mountains Guide. Everything was well organized from start to finish. Our guide, Wes, was outstanding—very knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. He reached out the day before to coordinate details and gave us great advice on what to bring, which helped us feel well-prepared. Wes was punctual, and the tour itself exceeded our expectations. We chose to walk with a guide so we could learn more about the Smokies, and it was absolutely worth it. Wes shared so much insight about the area’s history, wildlife, and plant life—it really added depth to the experience. We also appreciated the little touches: they provided snacks, water, and even walking poles. All in all, we highly recommend Smoky Mountains Guide and would definitely book with them again. A five-star experience all the way!
