Smoky Mountain Guides

First time visitor or Gatlinburg expert -- you'll find lots of fun and exciting activity and attraction reviews in our Smoky Mountain Guides. Discover where people like to play, shop, dine and relax. Our guides put you right in the middle of the action and direct you to all the top spots in and around Gatlinburg.

Our guides were written by people who have a lot of knowledge of the Smokies and who know lots of the fun, romantic, and out of the way places that make Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and the area around Great Smoky Mountains National Park so special. Here's a snippet from our National Park guide to get you started:

Rainbow Falls

If you are looking for a different challenge, and another outstanding reward at the end of the trail, you’ll want to hike to Rainbow Falls. This trail can be a bit tricky as it’s rocky and ascends 1500 ft. from beginning to end. Hikers report that there are a variety of mini falls you can enjoy before you get to Rainbow Falls itself. At around 5.5 miles roundtrip, this hike can take you a few hours to complete. The height of the falls (80 feet) and the sunshine-induced rainbow effect make this the ultimate falls viewing experience in the park. A bonus for hikers is that the summit of Mt. LeConte is located about four miles beyond Rainbow Falls. Casual hikers might have trouble completing the combo Rainbow Falls and Mt. LeConte hike, but it makes for a tremendous day communing with nature.
