Sam's trailblazing her way through the great outdoors of the Smoky Mountains. This weekend she's joining a local outfitter and getting a Backpacking and Camping 101 primer in the most visited national park in the US.
Whether it's exploring an underworld that exists in the caverns beneath the park or taking a daring night hike in pitch black, Sam’s taking outdoor vacationing to the max.
