Hikes

These are my favorite hikes around here!
A moderately difficult hike - about 5 1/2 miles round trip - well worth the hike when you reach the 80 foot waterfall! You can also take this route to Mt LeConte. (about 4 more miles up - but much more difficult).

A skylift that takes you to lots of activities and shops! There are beautiful views, a fun playground for kiddos, and a swinging bridge walkway through the trees! Tip :The ice cream shop is yummy! I learned the hard way with young kids and our stroller to take the closed gondola up and down - it is terrifying trying to keep your toddler still on an open skylift! Just take my word for it and spend the time and wait for the closed gondola!
