Great Smoky Mountains Scavenger Hunt at Tremont Institute on March 25, 2017!
Great Smoky Mountains Scavenger Hunt at Tremont Institute on March 25, 2017 is your chance to test your Smokies knowledge! The hunt uses trails and roads to access areas all over the park where your team will answer about 75 questions. Some of the questions will require a little research but that is part of the fun. If you get stumped ask a ranger or a volunteer, they are an invaluable resource while scavenging.
To document your findings bring along your digital camera and snap a few quick pictures. Be sure and take only pictures and leave only footsteps as it is illegal to remove items from the park. Each question is designated a point value based on the level of difficulty. At the end the team with the most points is the winner and may be awarded prizes but the fact is everyone is a winner!
“People go crazy for it, just wandering all over the Smokies looking for answers to questions. The have a good time with that,” says Caleb Carlton of the Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont, which organizes the annual Great Smoky Mountains Scavenger Hunt.
“The Scavenger Hunt has become a perfect way to reconnect with family and friends,” according to Carlton. “We have a lot of different types of groups,” he says. “(We might have) a group of girlfriends that all get together and make a weekend of it,” says Carlton, adding that co-workers often form teams as do many families.
