We Take You Fun Places
Whether you are a bicycler or a hiker, we have a variety of events in the regional areas of Eastern and Middle Tennessee, Western NC, and Southwest Virginia, including areas off the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We have even been know to take trips to SC, Kentucky, and other out of state locales on occasion.

​In addition to hiking and biking, we often do dining along with our events, either at a great restaurant near our destination or planning a picnic. We sometimes add backpacking, camping, group resort stays, canoeing, and other events such as the viewing of the Full Solar Eclipse.
We engage in Community and Special Events such as Trail Magic, July 4th and Christmas Parades, The Gatlinburg Fire and other Community Disaster Help, "Government Shut-down" Smoky Mountain Park Clean up, and in the Keep Greene Beautiful, Adopt a Road Litter Clean-up, in addition to Trail Maintenance and Conservation of our Local, State and National Forests, Parks and Waterways.
​
We have quarterly club meetings and picnics and a special end of year /new year/holidays and Christmas Club Party.

Pet-loving...Mostly

We welcome trained pets as long as they are under your control and leashed and follow all local regulations regarding animals on trails. Most National Parks, such as the Great Smoky Mountains Park, do NOT allow pets on the trails. In those areas that do allow pets, you must bring all necessary water and supplies to care for your pet, clean up after your pets, including packing out what they and you bring in and are responsible for their safe transportation to and from events. Sometimes we do ride sharing to keep the number of vehicles to a minimum as sometimes parking can be limited or shuttles which require leaving a vehicle at the opposite end to shuttle drivers and people back after the hike is done. Your animal may not be welcome in others vehicles. Please consult with the hike leader if you are not already familiar.
