Still haven’t checked out the national treasure of hiking trails in our backyard in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park? Or haven’t ventured beyond one or two trailheads?

Join Friends of the Smokies hiking enthusiast and author Danny Bernstein and a panel of Smokies hikers at REI in Asheville at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 9, to learn more about the ins and outs of hiking in the Smokies. From a leisurely stroll along the Oconaluftee River to a two-night backpack along the Appalachian Trail, our adventurous panel has endeavored to hike all the trails in the Smokies.
