First it is well worth the extra for the Express pass. The chair lift to the top was very slow with a lot of stop and starts due to elderly people getting off and on. The gondola line was very long but may be worth the wait if you have little ones that are unruly. The zip line was fine. The guides were fun and encouraging. I didn't want to, but they were good about coaxing me and my wife. We did the tree top walk, and that was good too.

You will also be asked to sign an acknowledgement of risks and report any illness within 14 days of tour.** With 3100 miles of streams in the Smokies, there are thousands of beautiful stretches of white water. Adventure awaits as you explore the magic of pristine cascades and waterfalls on a little known trail. We'll warm up on a more popular trail, pausing to enjoy smaller cascades before turning onto a less traveled section of the Park. In the winter, we'll enjoy beautiful glimpses of the surrounding mountains, during the spring we'll pause to enjoy our famous wildflower display, summer brings refreshing swimming holes and in autumn the beauty of changing leaves. This hike is considered moderately adventurous as we gain elevation, climb over downed trees and get our feet wet.

This was a fantastic tour. The guides we're accommodating and showed us places off the main drag we found to be excellent. Missy and Riley at Junction 35 we're incredible and Daryl made the trip very authentic. Our group loved the tour and couldn't have made it better if we tried.

We absolutely loved this tour. Not knowing what to expect, we were a little sceptical on our way. This was located way out in no where but very much worth the drive. Lily, our guide, was very informative on the history of the area and kept our attention with her stories about the early and current inhabitants of the glades. I highly recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed.
