Tracking is an ancient survival skill, but it can open up a whole new world to the inquiring mind. It is a focus that enables us to be more aware, to experience and to see much more of the natural landscape. We don't need to see the animals to tell that they were there, what they were doing, and when they might come back; we'll learn their stories from the traces they have left behind. Slow down, look closer, and accept the challenge of tracking in the Smokies. You may be surprised by what you find.
