It is mid-Spring and the Smokies are fully alive with the sound of country music, birds, and guests enjoying the endless bounty our wonderful National Park and its surrounding environs have to offer. The green is 100% back and here to stay for the next 6 months and the warmest you’ll need to dress is maybe a light jacket in the morning hours.
You know that means? It’s time to go hiking in the mountains! Or biking. Or camping. Or just enjoying the fresh mountain air one way or another for an extended period of time. We thought this might be a good time to get updated with the current outfitter providers in the Sevier County area as several are new for 2025. If you haven’t been hiking in the Smokies since before 2022, some of these stores may be news to you. They certainly make getting prepared for real, rugged adventures of the area a lot more convenient and available than they used to be!
