Although night hiking is only recommended for experienced hikers, it is a great, inexpensive thing to do while you are there. Be sure to bring extra layers, a headlamp and a flashlight for safety. Night is when you will see a different group of wildlife than you see during the day. Hiking at night also gives you a new perspective on the Great Smoky Mountains. There are guides that offer night hikes that may include Full Moon Hikes, Cades Cove Hikes and more.
