River.Gregg and Chere’ Mikos have planned a grand tour through the mountains of southeast Tennessee that has something special for everyone.For the adventurous there will be a Guided Whitewater Rafting Trip down the Picturesque Ocoee
River, sight of the 1996 Olympics.For the adventurous, who would prefer to stay dry, a zipline tour through the beautiful forest canopy is available.For the not-so-adventurous there are plenty of scenic viewing areas along the Ocoee to watch the rafters shoot the rapids.For the spirited, the Mikos’ have planned a drive on Sunday through the mountains, full of both exhilarating twisties and relaxing scenic vistas.
