Mark gave us a great mountain biking adventure and historical tour along the trails following Deep Creek and Indian Creek inside Great Smoky Mountains National Park. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area and its history, pointing out plants, wildlife, and old pioneer settlements as we went. Mark is very professional and always made sure that we were comfortable on the bike. A great value that I highly recommend.

“Mark was fantastic! He gave us a great work out with the bike around; I think we biked around 13 miles and he made sure to check on us along the way to ensure we were having a good time. He was very informative and showed us great historical locations along the way. When my allergies got too bad, he made sure we could continue the ride but with an easier surrounding for me. Mark also helped us secure horseback riding a few days later that was also highly enjoyable. Mark was a wonderful guide!”

Booked a mountain bike trip with Mark, he did a great job of assessing our ability level and crafted the trip to meet our expectations. He did a great job of mixing in the history of the Smokey Mountains as well as taking some great pictures of us. Would use him again for other trips if we are ever back in the area.

“The PERFECT way to kick off our week in the Smokys! Mark was knowledgeable and gave us excellent guidance on the ride. If you enjoy biking this is an amazing way to see a lot of what the Smokys have to offer in a couple hours. We will definitely be back!”

Mark was an amazing guide. I’ve been an avid mountain biker for a long time and it was my wife’s first time. I was very nervous because I wanted her to love it so we can go together but she gets nervous with extreme sports. Mark made her extremely comfortable explaining how to operate the bike and constantly looking out for our safety, pointing out obstacles and guiding us through the safest path. We’re both in pretty good shape and he just kept going as we were capable of it. He normally turns around for other guests who can’t make it as far but kept going with us instead of cutting his trip shorter. It was extremely obvious he genuinely enjoys his work and wants his guests to have a great time vs just trying to make money in the fastest and easiest way he can. My wife ended the day saying she really likes mountain biking so now I get to take her more!

My husband and I had such a wonderful day. We will hands down be booking all our adventure tours through Mark whenever we come back to Bryson. What a beautiful day it was biking on the trails. It was very informative. Learning about the history of the land we were on. The bikes were in great condition. I really can’t say one bad thing. I might want to take up mountain biking now.

My husband & I had such a great time on our mountain biking/waterfall tour with Mark. It was our first time to mountain bike but Mark educated us on shifting gears/navigating our bicycles for the up & downhill treks. We stopped a few times to take in beautiful scenery, catch our breath, & rehydrate/refuel. Mark was kind enough to carry extra waters/snacks & was even prepared with a first aid kit to treat the minor superficial scrapes my husband got on the back of his legs. The weather was perfect & we couldn’t have asked for a better experience/guide service. If you’re looking for a fun adventure & knowledgeable/reliable service, be sure to get booked with Carolina Bound Adventures. You’ll be glad you did!

My partner and I did the half day mountain biking tour with Mark. The tour was very well organised and suited to our individual level of interest and capability on the trail. He is very knowledgeable of the local area and history – we thoroughly enjoyed all the storytelling along the way and appreciated how much he shared with us on the day. Would recommend this tour if you’d like to see and hear more about the history and local facts in the backdrop of the beautiful trails in Smokys.

My family & I did the guided mountain bike adventure with Mark, and it was the highlight of our getaway! Both of my daughters (ages 9 & 13) especially enjoyed the breaks along the way, in addition to learning some interesting history of the area. Would highly recommend.
Terry Claypool –
Excellent experience. Mark made our arrival there special and was a great guide! We loved cruising the Smokies and our pictures!
Sarah Washington –
This experience was filled with fun and history. We loved biking the mountain and seeing the scenery. We appreciate our host, Mark’s, knowledge about the area as well. He made sure to be mindful of the biking pace and taking breaks as needed. Mark also provided us with suggestions of what to do in the area afterwards, which we took and added into our day. If you love biking and being outdoors, this is a great experience to add to your stay of the Great Smoky Mountains!

Me and my Husband booked a mountain biking tour with this company and had a wonderful time! Mark was really accommodating, knowledgeable, and welcoming.
