Consider saving your money for the guides at the Visitor’s Center Very descriptive and helpful, however I wish I had waited to go to one of the Smokey Mountains Park Visitor Centers. They all had wonderful maps, plus many other little specialized pamphlets and guides for specific parts of the park, and all were only $.50 to $1.00.

Great started kit Loved the map! Itâs big, water proof and tear proof so you can pack it with no worries. The book is ok. Basic black and white paperback. It maps the few trails it listed. Was hoping for more trails in the book as I donât feel it covered all the âbestâ trails in the area.
A very good selection of some of the easier walks in the Smokies. This pocket book includes nice summaries of over 20 trails throughout the Smokies. Most of them are shorter, easier hikes. A handful of them I would consider more on the strenuous side. At any rate, the descriptions are very good and so are the map details for each trail. Bundling the book with a large park map makes this package a good value.
