Spanning over 3100 miles, the streams within the Smokies boast countless breathtaking stretches of white water. Embark on an adventure as you discover the untouched beauty of serene waterfalls and cascades along a less-frequented path. Our itinerary begins with a light hike along a more established trail, stopping for breaks at small cascading streams, before we steer towards a more secluded section of the Park. During the chilly winter months, we’ll capture stunning views of the nearby mountains. In spring, we’ll take a breather to admire the bloom of our renowned wildflowers, the summer season offers rejuvenating swimming destinations, and autumn paints the foliage in splendid colors. The hike is moderately challenging as it involves elevation gain, navigating fallen trees, and wading through water.
