For the last few years, Steve Ellis has been leading diverse groups of people on the trails of The Great Smoky Mountains. As he led individuals to places of stunning beauty and awe, he noticed how people from different races, cultures, religious beliefs, and political persuasions, seem to let down their personal barriers and relate to perfect strangers as friends. Fascinated with this healing phen
omena he began to consider conducting more hiking events. and nearly 100 hikes later, he's observed time and time again, the healing affect of wilderness hiking in the Smokies. So, in April, he resigned his full-time position as a home designer, to devote his life to bringing people to beautiful Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, to experience the joys of wilderness hiking themselves. Presently, along with his real estate business, (www.tnrealestatehiker.com )he conducts private hikes for couples needing some quality time together, to celebrate their marriages, anniversaries, or just to have a good time together, and have their memories forever captured by Steve's professional photography.
