Hike The Smokys

Our philosophy is: We're here to guide our participants on safe, enjoyable, and relaxing encounters with nature, primarily, in The Great Smokys Mountains National Park. We're privately insured, and commercially licensed by the Great Smokys National Park, to conduct adventures in the Park. We primarily provide guided historical, recreational, day hikes for couples, and families, with professional photography included. But, we also do much more! We stand out from others tour companies since we also provide private "nature encounters", or highly personalized, hikes, camping and kayaking excursions, designed for those seeking solitude and answers, about the "deeper things" they may be going through in their life. Many of our previous guests have discovered on previous "encounter" trips, that the beautiful Smoky Mountains provide an ideal environment, for contemplation and enlightenment. Primarily, because you are safely guided, to beautiful vistas, far removed from the noise, cell phones, and clamor of everyday life. Once these distractions are removed, and you're surrounded by your Creator's beautiful nature, your senses, and thinking processes are sharpened, especially when dealing with the deeper questions affecting your life. We've termed these personalized excursions as"nature encounters", which are our highly customized approach to adventuring, that would normally be just another vacation, yet has had profound and moving affects on several of our customers. Our adventures occur primarily in the beautiful, and magnificent, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, in Tennessee. Not only do we take you to some amazing places, but we also professionally photograph you in those settings, and include photos with many of our hiking and kayaking events. Our adventures are customized for just one person, or for several. We are very unique, since we take the time to necessary to listen, and find out what event, trail, or activity you'd enjoy the most, before you make any commitment. No other tour company provides this kind of service. We've had the pleasure of creating hundreds of customized events for single folks, single parents with kids, and large family groups, who like you, were just looking for a safe enjoyable adventure with nature. Among our most memorable events have been: Midnight Mountain Sunrise hikes, kayaking on a lake to an island, hike-ins and camping overnight, group hikes, private surprise engagement hikes, and honeymoon hikes. Most of our events are for all ages, and experience levels. We provide safe, friendly and uplifting guidance and preparation, which includes analysis of park conditions including; weather, traffic, bear activity, trail and shelter closures, obtaining proper permits etc., to provide the best and most private trails, to maximum our customer's experience. This is why all of our events are by reservations only, because we know you don't want just another ordinary "vacation". So, contact us now, and let your imagination "run wild"!

Brian Hoffman's Remembering Red - A Tribute to Red Skelton

Red Skelton Tribute Theater in Pigeon Forge is home for the only authorized impersonator by the Red Skelton Estate - Brian Hoffman with his incredible Tribute to Red Skelton. The award winning nostalgic trip down memory lane has Brian Hoffman re-creating several characters including Freddie the Freeloader and Clem Kadiddlehopper, just to name a few. Mr. Hoffman's meticulous study of Red Skelton proudly shows through as he performs the one man skits and precise pantomimes. Add a little splash of "Guzzlers Gin" along with Gertrude and Heathcliff, the two seagulls and you have a show sure to please audiences of all ages. The heartfelt endearing ending will have you laughing and crying at the same time. For "Baby Boomers", this Smoky Mountain show is a "Must See"

Reviewed By Traveler653441

Red Skelton is truly memorialized by Brian Hoffman with Hoffman's talent in capturing the essence of Red's life and performances. Hoffman intertwines facts about Red's life and career as he beautifully portrays the jokes, the skits, and the characters of Freddie the Freeloader and Clem Kadiddlehopper. He interacts with the crowd and takes the audience into his performance. He thanked personally each military veteran and first responders and greeted individuals both before and after the show. Of course he did Mr. Skelton's "Pledge of Allegiance," a moving tribute to Red and a welcome reminder to all of us. This show, filled with laughter and enjoyment, will awaken your memories of earlier times.
