If  your youth group is contemplating visiting the Great Smoky Mountains area, you might want to consider horseback riding.   Gatlinburg Tn. and the surrounding areas offer a pristine environment that will allow your group to get back to the natural wonder of the Great Smoky Mountains. It’s fresh air,  beauty and peacefulness can reinvigorate all the individuals within any group.

Many of the area Gatlinburg riding stables are well equipped to handle large groups and are more than happy to put together “package deals” to make riding horses more affordable for your members.

With an abundance of wildlife and breath-taking views, horseback riding in the Smokies is an especially,  perfect fit for photography groups!  With experienced trail guides leading the way, your members will be able to capture the frames they want without worrying about anything else.

There is one riding stables website I came across that actively seeks groups (they also offer ziplines).  Just  submit the form with a little info about when and how many will be coming and they will quote you an exact group price. If your group is tax-exempt, this will even save you more money. By just investigating a little bit, you might be surprised how cheaply a large group can explore the Smokies on horseback!

Have a very fun and safe 2011!
