Arrowmont has one of the best trail ride programs in the SE, maybe even the country. You ride breathtakingly beautiful trails with majestic mountain top views, a picturesque valley with creeks & streams, and cool fern forests.
We came as a fun anniversary trip on our vacation from IL, and I was pleasantly surprised. We have two horses of our own, so I’m extremely hard on places like this. However, all animals where in great condition and feet were beautiful!! Josh was an amazing guide! It’s a good few hours of beautiful mountains, crazy climbs, and good company! The horses knew what they were doing! So any level would be welcomed...for the ones who know what they are doing, you got horses and spots that will let you run free!! This was worth the money, and we will be back!. Thank you Josh! See you soon! Tell eddy I say HI ❤️❤️. The Hill’s.

Mysterious hieroglyphics, supposedly carved by Indians, adorn this large boulder.
The place was easy to find and the caretakers have done an amazing job to showcase the rock and make it user friendly. The family who has preserved this awesome archeological find has done us all a great service by making this public. It’s a beautiful area.
