Strong Girls Travel is a book series showcasing a young girl's adventures in America's National Parks. Each book finds her learning something new about herself, her world, and her part in it all.

In AJ's Steps at Great Smoky Mountains, AJ wrestles with wanting to explore the park like her dad did and her growing anxiety in the crowd of tourists. Though she's trained for this hiking trip, she has a few questions for a park ranger inside the busy Visitor's Center. Maybe if they just skip the crowds and explore a new place, she'll be fine. But when she faces unexpected trail conditions, she's met with more stress and doubt.

Will AJ find the courage to beat her anxiety and face her fears? Or will she skip the trails altogether? Travel with AJ to Great Smoky Mountains National Park as she works through the idea of testing her steps before learning to trust them.
