The Dome was amazing, but I would have never found this trail or learned so much without Lydia! She was my guide this morning and was incredible! She knew so much and made the trip 10000 better!

Wes and his coworker Wes were the best! They have lived in these mountains all their lives and are founts of Smokey Mountain information! Great with young people, kids, and adults alike. They are engaging and fun. They know the secret back trails where there aren't crowds. Highly recommend this hike!

We had a great trip to the top with our guide Kindel! We did two trips with Smokey Mountain Guides and they made both trips awesome! We had three kids with us (7,9,12) and they all had a great time! Highly recommended!
