Smoky Mountain National Park is full of wonderful hikes. Here's a few that we'd suggest: Laurel Falls Trail is an easy hike about 2.5 miles long, Abrams Falls Trail is a moderately rated 5 mile hike, Charlies Bunion via Appalachian Trail is a moderately rated hike around 8 miles long, and if you're up for a challenge Gregory Bald via Twentymile is a difficult rated loop trail about 15.5 miles long with a 3,800ft elevation gain. Cades Cove is also an area with some beautiful views and an abundance of wildlife. Can't go wrong no matter the area you choose, just don't pet the black bears!
