 (Easy to Moderate)

First, we walk along a quiet,
mountain road to the North Ridge Trailhead.
As we enter the North Ridge trail, we stroll
through dense forest at 2800ft, with fantastic views,
2 rock overlooks and trickling creeks.
Lunch is served at a secluded spot
near a wondrous rock overlook.

Bluff Mountain is situated just minutes north
of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
near Gatlinburg / Pigeon Forge, in East Tennessee.
Gatlinburg, a quaint ski-resort town, is known
for its' handcrafted gifts and country atmosphere.

"Wow"....is all you'll say when taking this trail! While walking along this easy gravel trail, you will encounter hundreds of free-roaming exotic wildlife!

"Buckeye Ridge" Trail, Max Patch, North Carolina

(Easy to Moderate)

My favorite trail! If you are seeking outrageous scenery of the mountains, then this is it. Imagine yourself in the Sound of Music Movie with a twist of the Wizard of Oz, and you would be at Max Patch!

Starting out at a lovely pond with a fishing pier, we proceed down a wide, wooded path for about 2 miles. A quick stop at a creek is next, then the trail narrows and we proceed up a hill with a view, and a rest stop area. A big U-Turn leads us up into the open flower fields, where the views are simply divine!!

We continue to our lunch spot, which is at the top of an open field with a gorgeous view. After lunch, we proceed to the highest point of Max Patch Mountain(4629ft), where you can actually see the curve of the earth!

Note: This trek is about 5.5 miles long. Available for 6-Hr Lunch Treks Only. No Restrooms. Additional $40 one-time travel fee.
 

"Creek Hollow" Trail, Between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg  

(Easy to moderate)

The Creek Hollow Trail starts off from the actual llama farm, where you can first visit with our entire herd! We take a short, wooded path that leads to a gorgeous, bustling creek with a bridge. This is a great spot for photos and letting your llamas take a dip or drink. (If you are lucky enough to have Cuzco he will be the first one in the water!)

Then we continue on a loop-trail along the creek, where you may see Mallard ducks, Beavers and native Trout. After a short jaunt down a gravel road, we then proceed up a hill and take a beverage break. Lastly, we enter another short, wooded path called the Green Carpet Trail, and then return.

Note: This trek is about 2 miles long. Available for 2-Hour treks only. Restrooms available.
 

"Bridges to Nowhere" Trail, Wears Valley (Pigeon Forge)

(Easy)

This trail is actually not a trail, but an unfinished, scenic, By-pass Highway. Starting off of a main road with plenty of parking,
it winds its’ way up into the mountains providing excellent views of the Smoky Mountains and surrounding farmland homesteads!

The trail is mostly flat, very easy to walk, and is gravel or paved the entire way. This trail is used for all of our handicapped treks. There are about 4 bridges to cross and some excellent views at certain spots.

Although the trail is teeming with wildlife (you may see deer, turkeys, squirrels, foxes and bears), you don’t get that "out in the woods" scary feeling and is perfect for groups, or disabled persons.
Disabled Treks available only on this trail.
