2025 Sevier County Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#passionpassport Smokies have many trails and hikes. One of the famous trail is Chimney Top. It’s beautiful and as it’s hill top it has best babies. But due to fire sone years ago Trail has be restricted to 2/3 of the actual trail length. Trail has mainly stairs and it goes around the water stream so you will see many waterfalls along the trail. It gets tougher when hiking last stretch of the trail. Trails passes inside the forest so looks very calming and relaxing. Take lot of water and wear comfortable shoes and clothes. Once on top view is nice. It’s restricted but still nice. #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #travelinspiration

#passionpassport Smokies is beautiful place and there are multiple things to do like trails and drive and visit some of the historic places in park.

Its name derived from a “roaring” mountain stream, the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail twists and turns for six miles, forming a one-way looping scenic drive through the Great Smoky Mountains. The narrow roadway only allows cars—trucks, trailers. Unfortunately, RVs cannot fit on this road. Drive along the road and immerse yourself in the mossy green rocks and boulders as you gaze at the water rushing through the mountains. There are multiple small long trails can be taken in between along the River stream. Each turn gives a beautiful scenery and view. Water streams sound and trees sound makes it amazing sound and it gives calm and beautiful experience. There are many locations where one can stop on the way and enjoy the nature. See water stream, greenery and some wild life. #usa #travel #beautiful

Chimney Tops is a mountain in the central Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. It is 4,724 feet above sea level. Chimney Tops is a double-capstone knob on the eastern slope of the Sugarland Mountain massif, which stretches north-south across the north-central section of the Smokies. Total length of hike is 2.5 miles but due to fire on top of Chimney Tops some part of the trail has been closed. Now it left with 1.8 mile hike. It’s a normal level hike and takes around 3 hrs in round trip. There were many fountains on the way and the trail is extremely beautiful in rain. Trail is marked nicely and clean. It’s full of greenery and looks amazing. Viewing platform has nice view. Take sufficient water and energy bars when you start hiking. #hike #trail #chimneytops #smokymountain #usa #travel #national

One of the best part of Smoky Mountain is Clingmans Dome. Clingmans Dome is the highest point in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is the highest point in Tennessee. The observation tower on the summit of Clingmans Dome offers spectacular 360° views of the Smokies and beyond for visitors willing to climb the steep half-mile walk to the tower. Climb is 800 mtr but takes lot of efforts to walk. It’s takes around 30 min to reach the platform. View from tops looks amazing but when we went it was foggy and for seconds it became clear and became foggy again. It’s not to Mia hike and Mountain View looks amazing. #clingmans #smokymountain #usa #national #nationalpark #gatlinburg

#outdooradventure Great Smoky Mountains National Park in autumn is a spectacle of nature’s finest artistry. As the crisp mountain air carried the scent of fallen leaves and the forests transformed into a breathtaking palette of red, orange, and gold, my journey through this iconic park felt like stepping into a living painting. Driving along Newfound Gap Road, I was immediately captivated by the sweeping mountain vistas framed by fiery autumn foliage. Every turn revealed a new explosion of color, with maple, oak, and hickory trees ablaze in warm hues. I pulled over at Clingmans Dome, the highest point in the park, and hiked the short but steep trail to the observation tower. From the summit, the rolling ridges of the Smokies stretched endlessly before me, their misty blue outlines fading into the horizon. The view, enhanced by the golden light of late afternoon, was truly unforgettable. Seeking a closer connection to the landscape, I ventured onto the Alum Cave Trail, one of the park’s most scenic hikes. The path led me through towering hemlocks, past the unique Arch Rock, and up to Alum Cave Bluff, where sheer cliffs provided a dramatic contrast to the delicate fall foliage below. The crisp autumn air made the hike invigorating, and the rustling of leaves underfoot added to the peaceful immersion in nature. A highlight of my visit was exploring Cades Cove, a picturesque valley where history and nature intertwine. As I cycled along the loop road, I passed historic cabins, weathered barns, and open meadows where deer grazed peacefully. The golden light filtering through the trees made the scene feel timeless, as if I had stepped back into a simpler era. Black bears, a signature sight in the park, made occasional appearances, reminding me of the wild beauty that defines the Smokies. To end my adventure, I made my way to Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail, a narrow, winding road that meandered through dense forests, past waterfalls, and alongside rushing mountain streams. I stopped to hike to Grotto Falls, where a curtain of water cascaded over a rock ledge, creating a misty, ethereal atmosphere. The surrounding trees, adorned in their autumn splendor, reflected in the clear pools below, making for a mesmerizing scene. As the sun dipped behind the ridges, I found a quiet overlook and took a moment to absorb the grandeur of the Great Smoky Mountains in autumn. The vibrant colors, the crisp air, and the peaceful solitude of the forest made for an experience I would never forget. Whether admiring panoramic views from a mountaintop or walking beneath a canopy of golden leaves, every moment in the Smokies felt like a perfect embrace of the season’s magic.

#fallfoliage Stretching across North Carolina and Tennessee, the Great Smoky Mountains are home to one of the longest fall foliage seasons in the world. The park’s diverse range of tree species ensures a dynamic display of colors throughout October and November. Scenic drives like Cades Cove Loop and hiking trails like Clingmans Dome are must-visit spots for leaf peeping.Each destination offers a unique fall foliage experience, blending natural beauty with cultural and scenic wonders.

#campingfun Dawu Mountain | I finally lived in the most beautiful campsite in autumn. Elkmont Campground in Foggy Mountain National Park in the United States is a cost-effective first-choice camp for maple viewing in autumn. A drive from the popular town of Gatlinburg It only takes 20 minutes. It only takes 6 minutes to drive to the popular trail Laurel falls. ! The peak of maple viewing in Dawu Mountain in 2024 will be between 10/21-10/28. Recommended duration: three days and two nights Elkmont Campground. The camp is very large, mostly in the woods. You can also see the river in some places. It is always recommended to book on the official website one month in advance. If it is fully booked, don't give up. There will be an empty seat at any time. There is no shower, hot water, and mobile phone signal. You can buy firewood in the camp. Because there are often bears, the garbage must be put in the anti-bear trash can. Sleep When food, water and toiletries are locked in the car. In the camp, thick maple leaves covered the ground, and red, orange and yellow leaves fell from the trees from time to time. The morning fog gently covered the surroundings, and the sunlight through the mist on the golden leaves, which looked particularly quiet and bright. In the surrounding attractions: -Laurel falls: The trail is very short, 2.5 miles round and forth. There is a waterfall at the end of the trail, and the maple leaves along the way are very beautitul. -Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail: A highly recommended trail where you can drive to see maple leaves. It is near the town of Gatlinburg. It is a circular one-way landscape road The speed is very slow to enjoy and take photos. You can also park your car on the side of the road and walk on the trail. Rainbow falls is recommended for the trail. Basins Creek, Trillium Gap #Go camping together #Note Inspiration #Travel #Travel Guide #Camping # Bai Cong + Learn Beauty Use * Travel #Travel You Take

Visiting the Smoky Mountains in the fall is an amazing experience. The trees, ranging in color from red to orange to gold, create a mesmerizing landscape. Walking along the various trails was enjoyable. The atmosphere was refreshing, and the air was filled with the scent of nature. I visited several waterfalls where the water flowed beautifully among the colorful leaves. I stopped by a lodge to enjoy warm dishes that perfectly captured the essence of autumn. I recommend everyone to visit the Smoky Mountains at this time of year to enjoy the natural beauty and experience the tranquility it offers. It's truly a great travel destination! 🍂🏞️

#autumnseason The Great Smoky Mountains, straddling the border between North Carolina and Tennessee, are renowned for their rich biodiversity and stunning landscapes, which become even more spectacular in the fall. As the cool air descends, the dense forests transform into a kaleidoscope of reds, oranges, yellows, and purples, making it one of the most popular places in the United States for autumn leaf-peeping. The park offers over 800 miles of hiking trails, each providing a unique perspective of the fall colors. Cades Cove, a picturesque valley surrounded by mountains, is a must-visit, with its rolling fields, historic homesteads, and abundant wildlife providing a perfect backdrop to the vibrant foliage. The Clingmans Dome, the highest peak in the park, offers panoramic views that stretch for miles, showcasing the Smokies in their full autumn glory. A drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway or the Newfound Gap Road offers breathtaking vistas at every turn. Beyond the leaves, the Great Smoky Mountains in autumn also offer opportunities to explore the rich Appalachian culture, with local crafts, music, and cuisine providing a warm, welcoming experience. Whether you’re hiking, driving, or simply soaking in the views, autumn in the Great Smoky Mountains is a spectacular experience that captures the essence of the season.

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, also known as the Great Smoky Mountains or the Great Smoky Mountains, is located on the border of Tennessee and North Carolina! Because there is always a light mist covering the mountains and forests, the mountains got the name Great Smoky Mountains! The mountain fog presents different scenes at different times of the day! In the early morning, thick fog filled the entire valley, with only the shadows of the high mountains flickering in the distance! At noon, the mountain fog turned into wisps of light smoke, slowly sliding across the mountainside! At sunset, the mountain fog turned into a rose-colored cloud curtain, setting off the purple mountains under the setting sun! The peaks and trees in the park are covered with snow, creating a mysterious and beautiful scene! Plus, this is also the ideal season for hiking and snowshoeing, making the Big Wilderness National Park worth a visit no matter the time of year!

nothing better then a twenty year reunion trip to the smoky mountains for thanksgiving! #freehotelstay

May 2019 holiday, driving to Dabie Mountain National Park with classmates, the mountains are full of Lingzhi mushrooms, I really want to pick them all and bring them home.

Have to check out this beautiful drive through The Great Smokey Mountains! Especially during fall when the leaves are changing and converting the ground. There are a couple pull-off spots with amazing views, and some with old cabins you can walk through. Nice way to spend the evening. I was surprised at how busy it was on a Thursday though. Other than that, we had a blast.
