Hiking Trails

• Charlie's Bunion - A beautiful 8-mile round-trip hike along the Appalachian Trail, offering incredible views of the Smoky Mountains. This trail features rocky terrain and is a favorite for experienced hikers. (moderate)
• Mt. LeConte  – One of the highest peaks in the Smokies, this challenging 11-mile trail rewards you with breathtaking panoramic views at the summit. (strenuous)
• Alum Cave Trail - A moderately easy, 5-mile round-trip hike that only goes half-way up to Mt. LeConte. Perfect for those that may not want to hike all the way to the top of the mountain, this hike still offers scenic views and a unique cave at the end. (easy/moderate)
• Chimney Tops - A short but steep trail that leads to a unique double peak with stunning vistas of the Smokies. (strenuous)
• Abrams Falls - A relatively easy, 5-mile hike that leads to one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Smokies. The trail winds through the woods, offering great views of the surrounding nature. While this hike is on the opposite end of the national park from where we are located, we recommend to make it a fun day trip paired with exploring the Cades Cove Loop Road which is considered the best place to see wildlife and black bears in the park. (easy)
