Great Smoky Mountain Rafting 2012

In the Great Smoky Mountains in Eastern Tennessee fall is coming to an end and the beauty of winter wonderland is fast approaching.  No better of a day than today to take a look back at the wild and wonderful adventures of this past year.  In the early spring whether we were walking, hiking, biking, driving, zipping through the trees or mountain climbing in the Smoky mountains; you remember thinking “Oh, how the green is trickling out from the Maple Trees.  I know warm weather is just around the corner.”  The  anticipation building as we watched Spring slowly come upon us.  Taking early float trips down the BigPigeon River because we couldn’t stay away from the rush of the water too much longer. 

The  weekend we all began to look forward to; Memorial day which began the summer at Outdoor Adventures. Once that weekend was here we were all ready to get wild on the water.  To see all the beautiful flowers, the big green filled grass and trees but most of  all to get out on the  white water. The enthusiasm of our staff kept you, your family, and your friends relaxed even at the most hectic of times.  Our experienced guides kept you well informed of safety procedures, fun historical facts and most of all making sure you were enjoying your trip down the Big Pigeon River; whether it be the Upper or the Lower portion.  The summer  had us all filled with laughter.  The warmth from the sun and the refreshing feel of the water splashing you during double reactionary or any of our other exciting class three or four rapids.  Looking over to your family member or friend that just got soaked by a huge wave, while you remained slightly dry; the look on their face was priceless.  Enjoying the beauty of the sun shining through the trees and onto the water.  The trip coming to an end just to feel as though you are reliving the adrenaline as you are looking at the photos from your most exciting trip. 

Fall came too fast this year.  Labor day weekend was here before we knew it and you and your family were ready to see the new side of  beauty the Smoky mountains had to offer. Many people travel to the Smokies each year to see the amazing borage of colorful foliage from September to November. The crisp cool wind flowing, chilling the water more than the summer.  Taking a float trip down the river, really giving yourself the opportunity to reflect on the wonders of the mountains. 

Winter is now upon us.  We are ready to cozy up to a fire or enjoy a meal with our family and friends to tell stories of the fun filled times with Outdoor Adventures, Inc. and how their highly trained guide helped you navigate your way through the gorge and provided you with great cultural and historical facts about this unique region of Appalachia.

Don’t forget to tell your family and friends that they too can enjoy the fun filled excitement with you as well. Whether your staying in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Sevierville, Knoxville, or Ashville we're only a short drive away.  If you book before the end of the year we offer an even bigger discount than the $10.00 off special for returning guests.  Book early, book now and start the anticipation as we did for this past spring, summer and fall in the smoky mountains for 2013.
