Hiking up to Grotto Falls - Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Our very first hike at Great Smoky Mountains National Park in 2021 was to Grotto Falls! This 2.8 mile out and back hike is a steady incline most of the way, but not too steep so it was pretty easy to just set a pace and stick to it. Grotto Falls isn't the largest or most popular falls at Great Smoky Mountains National Park, but the sweet thing about these falls is that you can hike behind them! It makes for some fun photos and if you want a dose of some really cold water, you have plenty of opportunities to get wet! #HolidayJoy
