Hikes

These are my favorite hikes around here!
A moderately difficult hike - about 5 1/2 miles round trip - well worth the hike when you reach the 80 foot waterfall! You can also take this route to Mt LeConte. (about 4 more miles up - but much more difficult).

An easy hike - most of the trail is paved. The waterfall at the end is well with the 1.4 mile hike mostly uphill.

Places to see / things to do

A must see for sure! This is an 11 mile one way loop that takes you through some of the most beautiful, pristine land in the Smokies! Tip : Go early in the morning or late in the evening to get the best shot at seeing lots of wildlife!

A skylift that takes you to lots of activities and shops! There are beautiful views, a fun playground for kiddos, and a swinging bridge walkway through the trees! Tip :The ice cream shop is yummy! I learned the hard way with young kids and our stroller to take the closed gondola up and down - it is terrifying trying to keep your toddler still on an open skylift! Just take my word for it and spend the time and wait for the closed gondola!
