Hiking Trails

Clingmans Dome Hike

A short, but steep trail takes you to the highest point in Tennessee and the

highest point along the Appalachian Trail. Open April through November, this
hike allows you to view 20-100 miles in every direction, from the observation

tower at the top of the trail.

Look Rock Hike

For an easy 1/2 mile hike, visit Look Rock along the Foothills Parkway. The trail ends at an observation

tower, providing views up to 40 miles across the Smokies on a clear day. This trail is open year-round.

Little Mountain Summit Hike

This hike is right on TRC’s property! Using the TRC map (provided at check-in), continue up our driveway
for 4 more switchbacks: past Elk Lodge, Hemlock Haven, our maintenance shop, and Bear Lodge. The

hike begins where the pavement turns into a clay road, which continues for 9 more switchbacks to the top
of our mountain, where stunning views await.
