Tracking is an ancient survival skill, but it can open up a whole new way of seeing the natural world around us. Tracking is a focus that enables us to be more aware, experience, and understand much more of the natural landscape.
We do not need to see the animals to tell that they were there, what they were doing, and when they might return. We'll learn their stories from the traces they have left behind. Slow down, look closer, and accept the challenge of tracking in the Smokies. You may be surprised by what you find.
We will introduce mammal tracking indoors at Great Smokies Welcome Center, Level 2, then travel to Cades Cove for a field experience.
