This is a hike for those adventure seekers! This is around a 13 mile hike but so worth it! There are so many cool things to see here, rock wall, cave, creek that runs along part of the path, small waterfalls, bridges, and of course amazing views of the mountains!

If you donât have much time for a hike but still want to catch some Amazing views this is the hike for you! 1.2 miles of paved path but donât worry, itâs still challenging. Itâs a steep hike and donât forget your jacket. It can get pretty chilly up there! And donât forget your picture at the Tennessee/North Carolina state line!
