3.5-4 HR Guided Cataloochee Valley Jeep Safari & Elk Adventure

About this activity

Experience the Smokies beyond the ordinary aboard our open-air Safari Jeep! Unlike traditional sightseeing tours, our 3.5–4-hour adventure combines winding dirt mountain roads, breathtaking scenery, fascinating Appalachian history, and incredible wildlife viewing opportunities.

Explore historic Cataloochee Valley, where you can visit accessible century-old buildings, including Palmer Chapel, Palmer House, and Beech Grove School. Discover the stories of the families who once called this hidden mountain community home.

Our experienced local guides bring the mountains to life with Maggie Valley history, colorful Appalachian traditions, and the legendary Boojum.

Search for magnificent wild elk roaming freely through Cataloochee's peaceful meadows. Enjoy scenic photography opportunities while your guide handles all the driving.

This isn't just an elk tour. It's a journey through the history, wildlife, and hidden beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains! Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed.
