Your experience begins amidst misty valleys dotted with homesteads. Trees tower above the forest floor and waterfalls cascade down lush hillsides. We hike the park's most beloved paths-including the iconic Appalachian Trail-and explore moonshine caves and old Civil War roads. For thrills, we raft down the rollicking Class II and III rapids of the Nantahala River and soar high above the forest floor on a mountaintop zip line tour. Each night our private deluxe camp awaits. Scrumptious meals next to cozy campfires and stories shared under a starlit sky create memories to last a lifetime. Finally, the warmth of a cozy sleeping bag beckons and we fall asleep to the sounds of the forest.

Highlights:
  • Hike through an International Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage site
  • Raft down Class II and III rapids on the Nantahala river
  • Soar above the trees on a two mile mountain-to-mountain zipline course
