The Great Smoky Mountains National Park hopes to help visitors experience the Smokies story in a new way thanks to a partnership with the University of Tennessee Extension Institute of Agriculture and the Great Smoky Mountains Association.
The Storybook Trail of the Smokies, an initiative to promote literacy in nature, will be open to visitors from April 3 to May 30. As they walk the 1-mile Cosby Nature Trail near Cosby Campground, visitors will read a Smokies-themed book via trailside activities and on-the-trail story pages displayed for them to read along the way.
