What travellers are saying
- kimberlygggNew York City, NY3 contributionsBest view in the great smokies!! It’s a bit far from where we were staying at, but definitely worth the drive. It was chilly so make sure to bring some warm clothing! ❤️ Will visit again!Written 7 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Timothy DGray, LA182 contributionsAwesome drive on the Motor Nature Trail. Beautiful winding and narrow road thru the park. Didn't see any wildlife, and part of this was closed for the winter. See worth the effort.Written 10 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Thomas DBlairsville, GA3 contributionsThe views were amazing. It wasn't too crowded and we stopped at quite a few of the attractions. A very relaxing and pleasant experience.Written 16 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- PattyMcC7Landisville, PA244 contributionsGreat hike along the bolder-filled creek. Quiet, with just the water sounds and mini waterfalls every now and then. Sturdy bridges too. The parking lot was jammed at 8 am on a Monday with people parking offsite and walking to trailhead. We came back at 3 PM and there were plenty of spots in the lot. We only went to the cave (2.7 one way) so it worked for us.Written 26 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rochelle FRandolph, NJ1,046 contributionsThis is a beautiful hike (a lot of it is uphill on the way there). You should not take food as bears can be out (we saw them elsewhere in the park). The waterfall was pretty, although there was not so much water. Again as per my other reviews of this National Park, the parking is very minimal.Written 29 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rochelle FRandolph, NJ1,046 contributionsBeautiful twisty road off the Blue Ridge Parkway with amazing scenic views. We were driving from Asheville on the Blue Ridge Pkwy to the Smokey Mountains - this was the perfect way to do that and to see amazing scenery on the way.Written 28 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MidwestMegOCChicago, IL6 contributionsThis was a great destination hike for my college-aged son and me. It wasn't too long including the .5 mile additional trek from the car to the trailhead. The weather was perfect with a light jacket and short-sleeved shirt. There were many young families on the hike which was fine. However, I wouldn't recommend bringing a baby or toddler in a stroller. The terrain is not conducive to that at all. The ones that did were struggling quite a bit. This is truly an uphill hike almost the entire way so be ready for the incline. Obviously, it was much easier on the way back.Written 12 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JoeGetItHinckley, OH46 contributionsThis was the second hardest hike I have done so far. First was the Grand Canyon South Kahbib trail. We hiked from the Alum Cave Trail to the Summit of Mount LeConte in about 3 and a half hours. It was super foggy and the lodge area looked so creepy, it was awesome! So our experience was a little different than the sunny day ones. The clouds were at eye level and the rain was coming right at you. The clouds would blow with the wind and whi around the buildings. We pushed further up to the very top called Cliff Tops and the scenery was sublime. this is a must-hike for those who want a challenge and to summit a mountain without too much climbing.Written 22 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mr. Eats out too muchDelavan, WI119 contributions5 star view and plenty or bear activity. The path is very windy and narrow but once ya get there it’s worth the wait. We saw lots of fall colors and 4 bears, just be aware there are not very many spots to stop and there is only one bathroom at the very end of the loop. Plan accordingly! There is also a cool little mill and a locally owned shop there. It is a very narrow one way road so it does get backed up at times, but that was alright with us.Written 17 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- dbinhou7511Houston, TX1,652 contributionsVery busy Visitors Center on the west side of the park in Tennessee. Plan on extra time for the traffic. Bathroom stop if you need it. Nice displays.Written 16 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sunshine07Monroe, NC4 contributionsThis is unlike any regular visitor center. Live Elk come through every day! The area is beautiful with walking trails by a river. The center has an amazing educational display with lots of audio vieual displays and artifacts.Written 17 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
