Great Smoky Mountains National Park - Tennessee, NP #11
Channel: Rachel in Real Life
Date: 18/11/2018

This trip was PACKED with hiking; 24 miles in total! The longest trail I hiked was to tallest waterfall in the park, and certainly the most spectacular that I saw; Ramsey Cascades, 8 miles in total. This hike will definitely be one of my most memorable hikes. Not just for how beautiful the falls are, but because I saw a bear for the first (& hopefully last but probably not) time EVER!! 

The second hike was to Abrams Falls, 5 miles round trip, and beautiful! This could be a good hike for kids. 

The last hike, but certainly NOT least; Alum Cave, which was awesome, and then on to Mount LeConte, for a round trip total of 11 miles! By this hike, I was DONE, exhausted!!

I stayed in a free campsite, in Nantahala National Forest, which was absolutely beautiful!! I would not stay there again, however, unless they open/pave Parson Branch Road, due to the time it takes to get into the park. If you've been to the National Park before, you could certainly stay in this National Forest and have a great time. It is gorgeous!

I am aware that I pronounce some of the names incorrectly. That's what happens when you're not from, or familiar with the area. How do you pronounce, Tooele?
