Mitzi’s Favs- A Guidebook
It's All about the Hiking
The Roaring Fork is a 5.5-mile-long, one-way, loop drive through the park. At several points you can get out and hike, explore, or continue driving to sightsee. My favorites:
Easy hike: Noah “Bud” Ogle- self-guiding nature trail offers a walking tour of an authentic mountain farmstead.
Moderate hike: Grotto Falls-
Moderately Strenuous: Rainbow Falls-

Moderate hike: Grotto Falls is a pull off on the Roaring Fork (a 5.5-mile-long, one-way, loop drive through the park). Roundtrip distance to the waterfall is 2.6 miles and takes about 2-3 hours. So worth it, one of our favs. Plan to jump in and get refreshed!

From the Sugarlands Visitor Center drive 8.7 miles south along Newfound Gap Road, parking on left. Alum Cave is a 2.3 mile hike at Trailhead. You will find Arch Rock 1.4 mile up that trail. Alum Cave Bluff is not a cave, but rather a massive concave overhang that towers 75-80 feet high.
During the mid-1800s, the Epsom Salts Manufacturing Company mined the cave for Epsom salts, and locals used the salts to add pigment to their clothes. The cave was also mined during the Civil War. Soldiers scoured the cave for saltpeter used to produce gunpowder.

Trailhead has a sign indicating the distance to each major landmark along the way. 1.4 miles to Arch Rock and 2.3 miles to Alum Cave Bluffs. Many people decide to turn around at the cave, but keep trekking onward to Mt. Leconte. Should you reach the summit, breathtaking views from the third-highest peak in the smokies at 6,593 feet. Mount Le Conte is one of the highest peaks in the Appalachian Mountains rising 5,301 ft (1,616 m) from its base. Total 11.5 miles round trip- Absolutely Amazing!

Great Summit and lookout at the top! Great hike with breath taking views. We tried to count how many stairs were on the 1.9 mile hike (3.8 mile roundtrip). Guess??? On our hike down we loved splashing in the water and playing on the rocks at the first footbridge near the parking.

I have actually never done this hike, but, The Laurel Falls trail is the most popular hike in the SMNP because it is a relatively easy 2.6 mile roundtrip hike that is paved and provides hikers with an incredible view only of an 80-foot high waterfall.
Directions:
From downtown Gatlinburg, drive towards the National Park. When you see the Sugarlands Visitor Center, make a right turn on Little River Rd. Drive 3.5 miles to the trailhead with parking lots on either side of the road.

We have only made it to the actual Falls once because we never seem to want to leave Midnight Hole! At 1.4 miles from the trailhead, you’ll reach Midnight Hole, a six-foot fall drop into a deep plunge pool of exceptional clarity. Plan to get wet and maybe take a jump off with the locals!
Roughly three-quarters of a mile past Midnight Hole, a hitching post clues you in to the side trail leading to a bench that overlooks Mouse Creek Falls. It’s a serene, almost dreamy scene. Mouse Creek tumbles down a two-tiered, 45-foot drop into Big Creek.
Directions: This trail, approx 60 minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, is easy to find via I-40 East. Take I-40 to the Waterville Road Exit #451. Once you cross the Pigeon River, proceed approx 2 miles to a four-way intersection – continue straight. The road will turn into a gravel road and dead-end into the parking area.
