Magellan and Greyhound | Rainbow Falls Hike, Great Smoky Mountains, TN | Appalachian Mountains, Ep. 8 @MagellanandGreyhound | Uploaded December 2020 | Updated October 2024, 55 minutes ago.
The Rainbow Falls hike in Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee is one of five routes to take up to Mount LeConte. The trailhead is located just a few miles south of Gatlinburg, TN where you can also take the Bullhead trail or the Trillium Gap trail to Mount LeConte as well. The parking is very limited, so be sure to get there early, especially if you're planning to hike all day, which is what we did.
This is the eighth episode of our Appalachian Mountain series where we took a two week road trip from Shenandoah National Park down the Blue Ridge Parkway and explored the Great Smoky Mountains. From hiking various portions of the Appalachian Trail up to summits and balds, to exploring majestic waterfalls and bluffs and historical mills and cabins deep within Appalachia, we definitely enjoyed seeing the beauty of America's National Parks.
