My family went over spring break to the Sevierville area. We stayed in a nice cabin with wonderful views of the mountains in a very secluded hamlet. I went on two hikes. One was through a little river, and then we went into an almost tropical environment. We walked through some beautiful wildflowers and stopped at a picturesque waterfall at the end. The other hike we went on was the Alum Cave/Mt. LeConte Trail, and it was the most beautiful trail I have ever seen. The first mile you are traversing through a river, and then you go through an arch rock natural formation that is pretty cool. Then you start going up a little bit, and there is a beautiful corner that you can climb on and see the view below. Once you reach Alum Cave, you realize it is more of an overhang, but still really nice. Then, after that, you start heading up. The terrain gets steeper, and the trail is rocky. But it is no doubt amazing views. This is the part where it is just astonishing. You are so high up, and when it is cloudy, you are mesmerized. The last part of the hike is my favorite, and you go through a spectacular pine forest that just gobbles you up. At the top, there is a lodge with a staff and some cabins. The staff was nice and the accommodation was excellent. I couldn't recommend this hike enough, it is top tier and the best scenery I have ever seen. I went in the spring, and I would encourage anyone else to do so, as it is green but does not cover up all the scenery. Seriously cannot recommend this enough. If I had pictures on this computer, I would show them.
