This tour showcases the stunning scenery along the Foothills Parkway and concludes with the thrill of a paved terrain ride on private land in our beautiful, family friendly Jeeps. Your journey begins as a knowledgeable guide heads toward Wears Valley and Townsend, sharing fascinating stories and insights along the way. Multiple stops are made to explore the rich history of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, with opportunities to browse local shops and pick up memorable trinkets. Each pause is thoughtfully planned to highlight the natural beauty of the area and enhance your overall experience.

Designed as a can’t miss adventure for photographers, this tour allows you to fully focus on the breathtaking views while your guide handles the drive. The lower sections of the Foothills Parkway, often praised as one of the prettiest drives in America, reveal sweeping panoramas of the Smoky Mountains’ highest peaks. Supported by Congress in 1944 and completed in late 2018, the final section of the Parkway is a masterpiece shaped by challenging terrain and decades of effort. As your senses soak in the remarkable beauty of the Smokies, the excitement continues with a fun, roller coaster like ride, led by a guide who is both an engaging storyteller and an expert off road professional.

Michael, AKA ELVIS, was/is a top notch guide. Drove us thru the most beautiful areas of the park all while giving us information about the area and keeping us away from the long car lines. Thanks for a great tour dude and if we ever get back, and we will, we are going again and will request you as our driver. Thanks again!!!

David Jeep 89 Shared neat history facts and really listened to my sons and my interests! My almost 12 year old really wanted to go off road riding as part of his early 12th Birthday party… and we most certainly did! First we rode up to the top of the mountain and enjoyed two stops along the way that Unas and I had fun crossing rivers along rocks. We had a few photo stops at gorgeous views blessed with a perfectly clear sunny day and deepening fall leaves. Overall it was a great trip blending and balancing interests while finding lots of fun! Thank you for a safe and fun exploration!

If you’re heading to the Smoky Mountains I highly suggest you take this tour! Our guide Brian was awesome! It’s a very fun tour and very informative without feeling mundane or just scripted. Brian was so much fun to chat with as we went through the park. We went up into the newfound gap which was incredible. The views were stunning! We opted for the 830am tour which I highly recommend as traffic in pigeon forge was not at its peak getting there or leaving (we came with 3 kids so that was a big consideration for us).

My party of 7 thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable of the Roaring Fork River area. We saw 2 bears and many beautiful mountain streams. The trail was beautiful and we had many great photo opportunities. I definitely recommend this tour if your a nature lover.
