Tried and tested, we'll be heading back to the Smoky Mountains this year for a hiking adventure like no other! Complete with day hiking, camping, two nights in a cabin, and a day trip into Gatlinburg, TN, this trip is sure to make memories that last a lifetime!. . . . Looking for a more immersive outdoor experience? We also have a Spring Break Backpacking Trip in the Great Smoky Mountains.. . . . Hiking - Hiking is a wonderful way to immerse yourself in the outdoors. Transported by your own two feet and carrying only what you need for the day on your back, you can discover the beauty of nature around every turn of the trail! You will generally camp in the same campground each night with access to some amenities.. . Backpacking - Backpacking is an adventure that blends hiking with backcountry camping. It lets you broaden your horizons beyond the car campground to enjoy a richer, more immersive outdoor experience. A key distinction from day hiking is the size of your pack—your backpack (and you) must carry all of life’s essentials on your back. --- Event Details: https://bullsconnect.usf.edu/rsvp?id=1972639
