A Walk in the Woods

You�ve chosen to come to the Great Smoky Mountains for their beauty, and regardless of whether this Gatlinburg cabin rental vacation or Pigeon Forge cabin rental vacation may include your first hike ever in the Smokies or if you would just like to learn all you can about the area, A Walk in the Woods can provide an excellent experience. Discover the treasures of the Great Smoky Mountains with Naturalists Erik and Vesna Plakanis, who have walked hundreds of miles in these woods. They offer guided nature walks, day hikes, and overnight trips; all you need to supply is your clothing and boots!

Learn about the medicinal and edible uses of wild plants and mushrooms, wild animals and their tracks and signs, as well as the human history of the area. A Walk in the Woods also offers shuttle service to and from your Gatlinburg cabin or Pigeon Forge cabin, plus you do not have to travel with your equipment from home or buy it before you come; you can rent it here! The equipment rental service is personalized with an appointment to properly match backpacks, tents, sleeping bags, and stoves to your needs and body frame.

Licensed and insured, A Walk in the Woods guides are also certified in S.O.L.O Wilderness First Aid, Red Cross CPR, and in Non-Lethal Aversive Bear Conditioning. For more information, refer to their Web listing of trails just waiting to be walked!
