What a year it has already been in Great Smoky Mountains National Park! 🏔️

So far in 2026, people with disabilities have had the chance to experience the Smokies through adaptive fly fishing at Tremont, a magical night hike on Little River Trail, and an adaptive hike along the Oconaluftee River Trail.

Each program has created opportunities for adventure in one of the most beautiful places in the country.

A huge thank you to our incredible partners who help make these experiences possible, including Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Friends of Great Smoky Mountains National Park , Knox County, Trout Unlimited, the amazing National Park Service rangers, and every volunteer, participant, and supporter who showed up with joy and encouragement.

We are so grateful to continue helping make the outdoors more accessible for people with disabilities. More Smoky Mountain adventures are still to come!
