    Wildsam – Great Smoky Mountains National Park

    A field guide to the Great Smoky Mountains, featuring expert itineraries, ecological insight, regional craftsmanship and the cultural stories that define America’s most visited national park. This guide blends natural history, human narratives and practical travel knowledge to help readers explore the Smokies with depth and intention.

    What’s Inside

    • Detailed park itineraries, road trip guidance and trail recommendations

    • Profiles of basecamp towns, scenic routes and iconic lookouts

    • Insight into the Smokies’ world-renowned biodiversity, from salamanders to old-growth forests

    “The natural world hums along alongside the human stories written on this landscape. The Great Smoky Mountains asks us to hold all this at once: Elk roaming where the Cherokee once hunted. Burbling streams and moonshiners’ stills. The curves of Clingman’s Dome Tower slicing through blue mist as another day begins.”
