Hikers have even more to choose from. The Smokies cover over 500,000 acres of the most bio-diverse habitat in the world (1500 varieties flowering plants, 130 varieties of tree, 50 varieties of ferns, 200 varieties of birds, 80 varieties of reptiles and 70 varieties of fish.). There are over 100,000 acres of virgin timber with mammoth oak, poplar, spruce, hemlock and Fraser firs. In 1976 the park was designated an international Biosphere Reserve. To hike the Smokies is always a great experience, but to have a trained guide that can tell you the history of the area you are passing through makes the hike truly memorable.
