This hike needs to start early in the morning because there are a few must see stops between the top and bottom on the day loop. The hike begins with a steady ascent for the first 6 miles. 2+ miles into the hike Rainbow Falls makes a nice stop for a snack and long break. The hike continues to Mt. LeConte to enjoy the view and have lunch at Myrtle Point. After exploring probably the most famous peak in the Smokies it is time to head down the mountain via Trillium Gap and stop and enjoy Grotto Falls to finish filling up the memory on your camera.
