Our National Adventure takes us to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park where we hiked Grotto Falls. The road up to the hiking path was closed, so we hiked an additional 2 miles to the hiking trail and 2 miles back. That’s an additional 4 miles onto our “easy” 3 mile hike!!!! How did the kids do on a 7 mile hike? It was our longest hike ever.

Grotto Falls Gatlinburg Tennessee
Hiking in Gatlinburg Tennessee, we made it to Grotto Falls, very nice and popular place. One of the only waterfalls in Gatlinburg that you can walk behind
Hiking the Grotto Falls Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Our kids loved this hike because Grotto Falls is the only waterfall in The Great Smoky Mountains National Park that you can actually walk behind. Cool in more ways than one!

Grotto Falls » First Hike with my Son (Great Smoky Mountains)
I got a rare opportunity to go hike with my son who’s been away at college. We hiked on Trillium Gap trail to Grotto Falls in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park on Sunday, October 14, 2018. It’s a short, pretty easy hike. 2.8 miles out and back.

'Grotto Falls'
Distance: 2.4 miles round trip
Difficulty: Easy
Grotto Falls is one of the easiest waterfalls to access in the Smoky Mountains. The falls is only about 15' - 20' high but is well worth the short hike.
Grotto Falls is located off of the Roaring Fork Motor Trail about 4 miles from traffic light #8 in Gatlinburg, TN. The trail head has a small parking area and the 1.2 mile (2.4 total miles) trail is easy to follow and only gains 500' in elevation.

GATLINBURG, TN: We hiked to Grotto Falls in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park!
This was the perfect hike with kids and just minutes from downtown Gatlinburg. By easy, I mean that it is quick to access the trail and it's a lot shorter than most of the big hikes in the park. It's a solid walk but totally doable if you want the experience of hiking to a waterfall in the Great Smoky Moutain National Park.
The total roundtrip distance (there and back) is 2.6 miles and it took us a couple hours. The first half is mostly uphill but the trail is wide and there are several fun little break points. And the good news is that it is downhill on the way back! Some parts of the trail have roots and rocks exposed that you need to navigate but for Abby and Jake (10 yrs old and 8 yrs old) it wasn't a problem. It may be tough for little ones or folks who have difficulty walking.
The trailhead is accessible via the old Motor Trail and that drive itself is really fun. It's a one-way loop and the scenery is gorgeous. (see the end of the video)
More info about Grotto Falls and how to find the trailhead here:
TIP: Get there early! We waited until around 11am and it was so hard to find parking. We had to park along the road almost a half mile from the parking lot making the trek longer than it needed to be!
We had SO much fun visiting Gatlinburg and I will share more on the blog soon at

Waterfalls of Smokey Mountain National Park: Grotto Falls
July 2017
Spent some time visiting a few waterfalls in Smoky Mountain National Park, one of my favorite places to be. This was just after about two weeks of rain, so… lots of water. Grotto falls is not very tall, but it’s very interactive as you can walk behind it and get very close. I totally recommend it!
