This one-day tour offers an immersive experience that connects participants with nature, culture, and history. With its stunning landscapes and rich heritage, Kuwohi is not only a significant site for the Cherokee people but also one of the most visited locations in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Your journey begins with a scenic drive through the lush forests of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, where picturesque waterfalls and gentle rivers accompany the route. While marveling at the natural splendor, keep an eye out for local wildlife, including deer, elk, and wild turkeys. A stop at the Oconaluftee Visitor Center allows for a brief visit to see elk grazing peacefully in the pasture, as well as a chance to explore the gift shop. Upon reaching Kuwohi, soak in the spectacular views from Tennessee's tallest peak before enjoying lunch at one of the charming local restaurants nestled within the culturally rich Cherokee Indian reservation.
