Great Smoky Mountains National Park Walking Trips
Spanking Stump TrailWe've had so much rain in SE TN, that everything is turning green. I didn't want to start a long hike, so I decided to take a small one. Even though it was only a quarter mile long it was packed with beauty; Tulip Poplar, Red and White oak, Maple, and all the lower story trees and bushes.So, It's not the speed or distance of the hike, but the abundance of life...
Stopped in on Clingmans Dome, a half-mile walk up a fairly steep paved path to see the 360-degree vistas from the viewing tower. Writeup at Two-Heel Drive.
The camp sites and picnic area are top rate on Chilhowee Mountain (1800 ft). Great trail heads lead off in all directions.
