Description

The mountains of Tennessee, with their miles of rugged trails, spectacular waterfalls, and colorful wildflowers, offer some of the finest hiking in the Southeast. Doris Gove has hiked hundreds of miles throughout the region to choose 50 of its most appealing hikes-in the Smokies, the Blue Ridge, Cherokee National Forest, Big South Fork, and Cumberland Gap.

The routes range in length from less than a mile to 12 miles, offering rewarding trips for hikers of every ability-some trails are even accessible to strollers and wheelchairs. An overview chart provides information on the 50 hikes at a glance to aid in trip planning. Each hike description includes directions to the trailhead, a detailed account of the route, a map, and entertaining asides on natural and historical points of interest, as well as suggestions for additional hikes in the area.
