There’s a world of discovery here in the Smokies. Let’s hear your experience…
A couple of weeks ago, My husband abandoned my kids and I on one of our “getaway” days in the Smokies. It was suppose to be one of our weekends out of town, but duty calls and he had to do some work on his laptop in the cabin. Luckily, our cabin included wireless internet and although it also featured nice luxuries, I had to take advantage of the gorgeous Spring day, outside. So the kids and I headed for a hiking trail. I was actually concerned at first of whether or not I was making a good decision. My children are small, but I was still determined to get away from all the hustle and bustle. We arrived at Laurel Falls trail and it was a nice paved hike to the Falls. Aside from pushing the stoller all the way up and carrying way too much un-needed stuff in my backpack, my kids and I really enjoyed it. I even let my three year old take her shoes off and put her feet in the really cold water near the falls. She loved it and so did I. It was beautiful. It’s definitely worth the small hike up to the Falls. Not only do you get to enjoy the Falls at the top, but there are some other nice mountain views on your way up. I would highly recommend this if you want to get a taste of the Smoky Mountains without having to hike lots of miles up a steep mountain.
Note: keep in mind that even though it is a paved trail, there are still some bumpy and narrow areas.
However, it’s only about 1.5 miles up, making it approximately 3 miles roundtrip.
We will definitely go back and visit again. Maybe next time, my husband can carry the backpack and push the stroller!
