We shared a few hidden gems…

But you didn’t think we were going to share ALL of them, did you? 🥾🌲

Southern Living recently asked local experts from Smoky Mountain Guides and Appalachian Adventure Company to reveal some of the quieter places, memorable trails, mountain towns, and local favorites around Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Smoky Mountain Guides owner Clayton LaPrees contributed recommendations including the Spruce-Fir Nature Trail, Ely’s Mill, and The Greenbrier. Appalachian Adventure Company recommended the cabins at Sandy Mush Bald, The Swag, and Smoky Mountain Guides is a big fan of these unforgettable mountaintop escapes, too.

When it’s time to refuel, local favorites include The Greenbrier Restaurant, Appalachian Bistro at Dancing Bear Lodge, and Peaceful Side Social. The rest of our favorites? Those are best discovered with a local guide.

What do guides do when they have a morning off?
🐟🐟🐟 sometimes you just can’t tell the difference and we blur the line between work and play. Just the way we like it.

Most people can find a trail.

Creating an experience they’ll never forget is something entirely different.

At Smoky Mountain Guides, we obsess over the details you never see—professional guides, seamless logistics, genuine hospitality, and unforgettable moments. It’s why no two experiences feel ordinary.

We don’t just lead tours.

We create adventures that most people couldn’t build on their own.

That’s the difference.

Experience it for yourself.
