Winter Hiking Tips

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a great place to visit for a peaceful winter hike! The following winter hiking tips will help you prepare for the perfect afternoon of hiking! It’s time to hit the trails!

1) Don’t forget to dress in layers! This includes a warm hat and gloves. Dressing in layers will keep you warm and allow you to remove items as you warm up!

2) Carry a backpack made of breathable material to keep snow and rain out of your bag.

3) Wear a pair of insulated water proof boots to keep your feet dry and don’t forget the warm socks!

4) Bring plenty of food and water for you to enjoy during your hike as you will be burning calories!
