    Wow! I looked up their website ... and pricing. $225 for a 3-4 hour hike for two people on/off their property! Can you imagine paying someone that kind of money to lead you around in the woods when we do that for free!!

    Other activities selected randomly:

    Tree climbing $175 per person
    Nutrition consultation $200 for 80 minutes
    Mountain biking $200 per person for 2 hours
    Whiskey tasting $150-$1000 per person

    I can see why they wouldn't want the general public accessing their special property.

    yup......

    they are a high dollar resort.........

    that does really well though.....

    and hence why they sent out the ATVs to look for their clients who became "lost"....

    Here's a news story about the troll: https://www.wbir.com/article/news/th...8-6095a95fa118And while it lists it as being "In The Smoky Mountains", they mean the general area... NOT inside the national park.
    Not sure what all area is considered "The Smoky Mountains", but just because you see a reference to the Smoky Mountains does NOT mean they are necessarily talking about the park.

    it's generally the area surrounding the Park....

    cause the range of mountains that the Park is part of is also called Smoky Mountains....
