Eat and Explore

Hiking in the Smokies

The Smoky Mountains have endless options for hiking and exploring nature. Some notable mentions are Laurel Falls, Abrams Falls, and Chimney Tops (certainly a challenge!). Please refer to the included link to further research the best trails in the Smokies. If you have car and time to spare, there are some stunning scenic stops that can be made throughout the mountains. Some recommendations include Cade's Cove, Newfound Gap, and Mt. Le Conte. Be mindful of heavy traffic and tourism, both of which can be expected this time of year.
