Smoky Mountains National Park
Length: 4.2 miles
Rating: Easy
This moderate, 4-mile trail has an elevation gain of only 900 feet. It
is well-known for the variety of magnificent trees.
The trailhead is on Caldwell Fork Trail.
After leaving Caldwell Fork, the trail ascends a low ridge to a gap, slabs
(runs across the mountain slope with only gradual elevation change) the
mountainside with only two additional short climbs, reaches a side ridge,
and descends back to Caldwell Fork. It is best to do this trail as a day
hike from Cataloochee Campground, a 7.5-mile roundtrip.
