Great day out

Newfound Gap Road is open. We are grateful to the NPS staff for working so quickly to clean up areas affected by Hurricane Helene while supporting their staff who were adversely affected by the storm.

Smoky Mountain Guides is operating and fully supports the park in its mission to provide opportunities for visitors to experience responsible outdoor recreation.

Like many of you, our hearts are heavy with the devastation left from Hurricane Helene and loss suffered by our neighbors in East Tennessee and Western North Carolina. We are praying for comfort for those who have lost everything, including loved ones, in this catastrophic event.
Smoky Mountain Guides is actively working to support the recovery efforts of our Smoky Mountain neighbors who are hurting and in need and will be boots on the ground as communities are opened for help. Join us in helping our neighbors and consider making a financial contribution to organizations that are directly supporting those communities.

The Guide Room!

At Embassy Suites by Hilton Gatlinburg Resort, every stay is an opportunity for meaningful connections. Our guest, visiting for a family reunion, found an unexpected link with Marcy, our guide room agent, both connected to Columbia High School, 1969. Marcy brought her father's yearbook, showing the guest her senior picture and a photo of Marcy's father! It's moments like these that make hospitality truly special!

Happy Fourth of July from The Guide Room from the Embassy Suites Resort Gatlinburg!

A frigid and snowy morning atop the mountain. About 2” of fresh powder with the potential for more to accumulate throughout the day.

US 441 (Newfound Gap Rd) is temporarily closed, but Cherokee Orchard and Roaring Fork remain open at this time.
