Waterfalls
are popular destinations for day
hikes. The trails range from easy
to strenuous, but no matter what
the effort required, the reward
justifies the endeavor.
Balds
are mysterious treeless areas
high in the mountains. Some
speculate that they were caused
by ice storms, insects, woolly
mammoths, dry wind or fire.
* All of these mileages are the actual distances from parking lot to the
waterfall and back, NOT the actual trail length.
** Before hiking, please consult a Ranger on the particular difficulties of
each trail. Call the national park at (865) 436-1200 for an information kit.
Back Country Trails
are for the more experienced,
adventurous hiker. They offer an
in-depth, backwoods experience.
