4 of the Best Reasons to Go Winter Hiking in the Smokies

Hiking is a great way to be a part of nature, even in the winter months! You can still enjoy hiking in one of the most beautiful national parks in the United States when it is chilly outside. There will be select trails open in the winter, but the trails that are open will be easy to navigate. You’ll have to bundle up in warm clothing, but it’ll all be worth it when you see the snow covering the peaks of the Great Smoky Mountains. The breathtaking sights are just one of the many reasons you should go winter hiking in the Smokies on your next getaway.
