Smoky Mountains National Park
Length: 4.0 miles
Rating: Moderate
This is Cades Cove's easternmost trail. It begins in the Cades Cove picnic
area. Vehicles must leave the area one hour before sunset. To stay
overnight, park by the ranger station. The trail follows Anthony Creek to
its headwaters. After three miles the trail reaches backcountry campsite #9.
To camp in the backcountry requires reservations. After another mile the
path merges with Bote Mountain Trail. Destinations include Spence Field, the
Appalachian Trail, and Rocky Top. Rocky Top holds one of the Park's best
vistas.
