Imagine walking among lush forests filled with bright wildflower blooms, catching glimpses of deer and elk grazing at dawn while magnificent black bears peek from nearby treetops. Waterfalls, rivers, creeks and lakes abound in this natural paradise and yet, just minutes away, charming towns await you with shopping, dining, arts and entertainment.

If it sounds too good to be true, then it’s time to round up your group and head to the Smokies for your spring excursion! Encompassing 520,000 acres, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a worldrenowned natural preserve and is home to over 1,600 black bear, more than 800 miles of walking and hiking trails and endless memories waiting to be made around every bend. And with more than 1,660 types of flowering plants in bloom each spring (more than at any other North American park), it’s a breathtaking time to visit. In fact, each spring the park hosts a seven-day Wildflower Pilgrimage, featuring wildflower walks and photography tours as well as special classes and seminars. Download trail maps and event information online, and then join fellow nature enthusiasts April 23-27 to celebrate the mountains coming alive with colorful blooms.
