Great Smoky Mountains Wildflower Pilgrimage
The Wildflower Pilgrimage is much more than wildflowers!
The Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage is a 68-year old annual event in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park featuring professionally-guided walks to explore the region's rich natural and cultural resources. Our programs included guided hiked on fungi, ferns, wildflowers, trees and shrubs, medicinal plants, insects (terrestrial and aquatic), salamanders and snakes, birds, mammals (bats to bears), birds, journaling, art and photography, park history, and citizen science engagement opportunities. More than 700 pilgrims from more than 30 states and several countries joined us in 2017.
