Journey through Wears Valley and past Metcalf Bottoms in the comfort of a custom Jeep Wrangler. Take in stunning views along the Little River Gorge as your expert local guide tells the story of larger-than-life characters like Colonel Townsend and ol' Levi Trentham. Upon entering the Elkmont Historic District, your guide will lead you on a walking tour past restored cabins and original social club hotels. You'll learn about Ann and Willie Davis, who championed the creation of the park, and old family clans who held the land so dear.
