EasyFor people looking to exercise their minds more than their bodies. There’s minimal walking and not too many stairs.
ModerateThese programs get you on your feet and include activities such as walking up to a mile in a day through a city and standing in a museum for a few hours.
ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.

If you are looking for a challenging strenuous hiking program, with three daily choices of highly strenuous, moderately strenuous, and just strenuous, that attracts amazing participants in a beautiful setting run by highly competent and caring staff, with enjoyable educational and cultural activities, this is a great experience. It is amazing how many participants have returned to this program year after year,and I can understand why.

Great opportunity to explore hiking within a small and historical area of Great Smokey National Park with decent accommodations and a superb food service.

The staff/guides were so well informed. I didn't have enough warm clothes and they had used items that kept me warm. The food was over the top. The hikes were so inspiring. This is the first trip I've wanted to repeat - in spring. The dorm had been updated and was pleasant.

Well I had such a good time on this program last spring that I am signed up to do it again in April 2013. It is great that it seems to always fall the week before the huge bridge tournament in Gatlinburg so I can make the drive once and kill two birds (so to speak). The hikes are great, leaders are terrific and they feed you well, nothing not to like.

Wow! This was the most amazing experience of my life. The time spent hiking cleared my head and cleansed my soul. I am ready to go back again. Thank you for such an wonderful time in the Smoky Mountains. Everyone who attended was delightful and so interesting.
And - I found muscles I did not know existeD!!!!
