mountain scenery as well as opportunities for spotting wild Elk. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation has been
working to re-establish elk herds in historic ranges where the habitat and human cultural tolerance create a high
potential for self-sustaining herds. Hopefully, we will spot an elk or two as we travel through the park! After an
enroute lunch stop (on your own) we’ll spend the afternoon at the charming and educational
Oconaluftee Indian Village! This living history museum recreates an 18th-century
Cherokee community. Founded in 1952 by the Cherokee Historical Association, it
serves as an educational resource that preserves traditional Cherokee culture
and history. Visitors can experience guided tours, live craft
demonstrations, and cultural performances that showcase the daily life
and struggles of the Cherokee people during European colonization. The
village hosts an outdoor mini drama titled "A Time of War," depicting
the challenges faced by the Cherokee during European settlement.
