Overview
Travel back in time and explore the history of human settlement in the Blue Ridge Mountains as you hike some of the loveliest trails in the eastern United States.
Much of the history of these ancient mountains is not accessible by car. More than thirty thoughtfully curated hiking routes guide you to historic sites as well as beautiful scenery. Ascend to the state’s highest point, surrounded by ancient forests and historical controversies. Explore the ruins of homesteads and isolated cemeteries of former settlers in Great Smoky Mountains National Park and honor the legacy of the Cherokee and their connection to the land. Encounter sweeping vistas at one of the four routes that lead to lookout towers, and marvel at thundering waterfalls featured in major films such as Last of the Mohicans and The Hunger Games.
Local author and experienced hiker Nancy East includes helpful maps and comprehensive information about each route, ensuring adventures that are both safe and enjoyable.
