Alphabetic Smoky Mountains Trail Directory
The table below gives you basic information on 70 trails in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Smoky Mountains Trails are listed in alphabetical order. By clicking on the trail name, you can get more detailed information, including trail descriptions, directions, pictures and maps. At this point, however, only a handfull of trails have been posted. Over the next several weeks I will be adding the rest of these trails. Stay tuned.
Difficulty Rating Defined: a difficulty rating of less than 5 is generally considered to be an easy hike. Between 5 and 10 is moderate and anything over 10 is considered to be strenuous. Click here for a more detailed explanation on difficulty ratings for Smoky Mountains Trails.
R/T on the table heading below stands for round trip.
