Celebrating 25 years!!

Check back in 2024 for a new list of hikes!

Now in its 25th year, Get on the Trail with Friends & Missy is one of the longest running fundraisers for Friends of the Smokies. Since 1998, U.S. Olympian Missy Kane has led hikers of all ages in our beautiful park and raised over $245,000 through the generous support of participants and sponsors.

Every Wednesday in April and October, Missy & Friends hit the trail to exercise, enjoy the park and learn about the history, wildlife and nature found right in our backyard.

*If you are interested in participating, please be sure to read all the information, including details regarding GSMNP Parking Tags.
