Activity itinerary

Great Smoky Mountains National Park

  • 3h
On this hike, we'll explore a popular trail, passing several beautiful cascades and views before taking a less travelled trail to view spectacular cascades and falls. We'll learn about this varied forest, enjoy some beautiful old growth trees and in the spring, pause in wonder at the variety of wildflowers. This adventure has some elevation gain before we explore a quieter trail. Be ready to climb over some downed trees and get your feet wet. You'll meet your guide at the Sugarlands Visitors Centre where you will follow them in your own vehicle 10 minutes to the trailhead.
