By Kat and John Lafevre

As a scavenger hiker, you search for treasures like a boulder bigger than a Winnebago, bear tracks that were left in wet concrete, rusted remains of a Model T Ford deep in the forest, a giant natural rock house that pioneers used as a shelter, a 1,000 foot sheer cliff drop with a view that takes your breath away, a hidden ancient Cherokee Indian path that was used for hundreds of years, a 120 year old cabin that you can explore inside, mysterious "midnight hole" a deep pool of water below a powerful waterfall!!!

Earn 10 points for each Treasure that you Find! Depending on the number of points achieved you will be officially "certified" as a CITY SLICKER, PIONEER SCOUT OR FRONTIER EXPLORER!!! Certificates are included for each of the 14 Scavenger Hike Adventures. When you visit the Smokies...Don't Just Take A Hike...Take A Scavenger Hike Adventure!!!

"The LaFevres, who have lived all over the Midwest and have always been avid hikers, were thrilled to discover the hiking opportunities in Great Smoky Mountains National Park after John's employer transferred them to the area."

"We soon discovered how much more enjoyable a hike can be when you know what natural and historic treasures can be found along the way," said Kat.

"According to the LaFevres, their book is the first and only interactive hiking guide to the Smokies."
