Spend three days hiking with family in the Great Smoky Mountains. The Great Smoky Mountains are a uniquely beautiful setting to reconnect with nature and family. More than 900 miles of tree-lined trails and a wide variety of wildlife make this a perfect place for discovery. Share a passion for the outdoors with your loved ones and watch as newly-minted, young hikers earn their trail name on a portion of the iconic Appalachian Trail. Explore trails within the park from the home base of our private Signature Camp. Head to Greenbrier to see the park’s oldest trees and tallest waterfall. Explore Cades Cove and hike to peaceful Abrams Falls. Our guides inspire an appreciation for conservation among us all while sharing their vast knowledge of the plants, fungi, and animals that make this park the most biologically diverse of any national park. Awaken each morning to the sounds of nature and the smell of fresh coffee brewing. Delicious camp meals and nights around the campfire with new friends quickly turn a weekend away into a lifetime of cherished memories. Kids get an REI day pack — Kids traveling on our Family Adventures will receive an REI day pack for their adventure!
