Tuesday December 23, 2008
You'll venture into the wild during the annual Wilderness Week in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, Jan. 10-17. During Wilderness Week, visitors learn more about and explore the Great Smoky Mountains through a series of outdoor themed activities. Nature experts will lead walks and hikes, and give seminars and lectures on this region's history and its plant and animal life. For more information visit Wilderness Wildlife Week. The site also has links to lodging and vacation packages in Pigeon Forge.
I’m involved on the edges of Wilderness Wildlife Week, and I can attest that it’s a solid event. More than 150 experts in wildlife, outdoor activities and Smoky Mountains history donate their time to present absolutely intriguing programs.
This year’s Wilderness Wildlife Week is especially notable because it’s the first major event on the official calendar of the 75th anniversary of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. To read more about that year-long celebration, visit http://www.greatsmokies75th.org.
