Welcome to our web site!
On this website, you will see beautiful scenery as well as works of
art created by Billy Cunningham, Co-founder of Phoenix Rising Enterprises. Billy is also an experienced guide who will take
you hiking, sight-seeing, camping, fishing and hunting in his own backyard, which just happens to be the Cumberland Plateau.
He will expertly guide you through some of the most beautiful country in the USA.
Our work is a labor of love. We combine our knowledge of hiking and camping with early American history,
geography, Native American culture, herbology and so much more. If you choose, we can teach you about the indigenous
edibles and other native plants found along the Cumberland Platuea. You may even try some of them during your extraordinary
meal-time breaks. Along with his many other talents and skills, your guide Billy Cunningham is also an accomplished chef.
You can expect deliciously prepared foods cooked to taste over an open fire.
We have several guided tours, packaged for your benefit, but each trip can be modified to suit your
interests.
Sojourn of Remembrance
This tour is a three day weekend experience along the Trail of Tears. Expect
to begin hiking on a Friday, early evening and walk across the once well-trodden earth of many moons ago.
Cherokee Rites of Passage
Want to get to know yourself better while you get to know your earthly brothers and sisters? This tour is
an overnight package, but can be stretched out for a weekend, if needed. Imagine sitting around a campfire with family or
friends or even colleagues, listening to tales of Geronimo and other Cherokee warriors. Get in touch with your "inner warrior." Talk
to the Great Spirit and give thanks to Mother Earth. There are many ceremonies denoting rites of passage to include, but not
limitted to a child becoming an adult (great package for teens!), family bonding (intact families, step-families, broken families),
dealing with grief and loss issues, motivating employees, relationship bonding/newlywed's retreat, entering the retirement
years and more.
Mother Nature's Bounty
We have day trips or overnight trips for fishing, hunting and sampling indigenous edibles found
on the Cumberland Platuea.
The three packages can be combined as you see fit. Organizations such as church groups, social clubs, business
affiliations and others are invited to call and learn how their groups can benefit from the natural healing powers of the
great outdoors!
