Next week, reconnect with Mother Nature.
The Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park runs Wednesday-Sunday and boasts a huge variety of outdoor and indoor programs.
The more than 150 wildflower and wildlife walks, talks and photographic tours in the park require advance registration. The five-day event is headquartered at the W.L. Mills Conference Center in Gatlinburg.
This year's 59th pilgrimage is a tribute to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park's 75th anniversary.
Premiere evening presentations and speakers are planned, including a Wednesday engagement with Tom Peterson, climate scientist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and lead author on a Nobel Prize-winning report on global warming. The featured evening presentations are free to the public, do not require registration and will be held in the conference center.
