Family Hiking in the Smokies is specifically geared toward taking
children on excursions into the Great Smoky Mountains National
Park-the most visited national park in the United States. The park
offers much to its nearly ten million annual visitors. For families
who seek fun along with educational recreation, the park boasts
splendid views and enormous biological diversity. While the
guidebook concentrates on shorter day hikes, the book also presents
longer trails for overnight or weekend camping. Organized by
regions of the park, the forty-two concise trail descriptions
include many of the most popular destinations, such as Ramsey
Cascades, Grotto Falls, and Clingmans Dome Tower, as well as
overlooked gems such as Midnight Hole, Lynn Camp Prong, and Juney
Whank Falls. This fifth edition includes new trails not found in
the book's previous editions, and all are presented in a
user-friendly format. This delightful volume also includes specific
advice regarding safety, trail difficulty, and keeping children's
attention. In addition, Family Hiking in the Smokies provides
interesting educational sidebars about fauna, folklore, and
material culture along the way. This book, based on the experiences
of three expert hikers who have walked with their own children and
grandchildren in the park, will provide parents and grandparents
with a perfect guide for establishing an adult/child bond with the
natural world. HAL HUBBS, CHARLES MAYNARD, AND DAVID MORRIS are
longtime East Tennessee residents who have hiked together and with
their families for many years. The three friends formed Panther
Press, which originally published Waterfalls and Cascades of the
Great Smoky Mountains, along with many other titles on natural
history, particularly in the Smokies. Hal, Charles, and David have
worked as volunteers in the Smokies and have hiked in many national
parks throughout the country.
