Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage

The Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage is an annual nonprofit event in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park that offers professionally guided walks, exhibits, and educational opportunities to explore the region’s diverse natural and cultural heritage. Each year, participants from over 40 states and various countries join this event to deepen their understanding of fungi, ferns, wildflowers, trees and shrubs, medicinal plants, insects (both terrestrial and aquatic), salamanders, snakes, birds, mammals (from bats to bears), as well as engage in activities like journaling, art, photography, and learning about the park’s history.
