We hiked the Deep Creek Falls Loop Trail while we were in the Smokey Mountains National Park. This trail features three waterfall contributories to Deep Creek, the stream that the trail follows. These water falls are Juney Whank Falls, Thomas Branch Falls, and Indian Creek Falls.

The trail is a easy 2.5 mile hike with only a moderate incline on the return trip. The water falls are small, but beautiful and the trail follows Deep Creek, providing some calming water sound affects. But don’t take my word for it see for yourself…

The trails throughout the park are well marked and heavily trafficked. Hiking the trails was enjoyable and gave us an opportunity to get some much needed exercise. Unfortunately dogs are not permitted on the trails in the national parks so the Traveling Pups, Peeta and Luna had to stay home inside our rig while we were hiking.

Exploring The Great Smokey Mountains National Park on foot was inspiring and we highly recommend it for everyone. When you visit the Smokey Mountains, make sure to take the time to go for a hike in this beautiful place. In part three we will take a look at the Tennessee side of the Smokey Mountains.
