In Tennessee, it doesn’t take too long to find a beautiful bit of wilderness. We have gorgeous trails to hike, stunning waterfalls to ogle and great barbecue once we make it home after a rough day. Here’s the thing, though – if you haven’t experienced Grotto Falls on the Roaring Fork Motor Trail, then you haven’t plumbed the depths of Tennessee. Just take a look, and you’ll see.
We love the Great Smoky Mountain National Park for so, so many reasons - but this here may just take the cake. If you take the whole of the Roaring Fork Trail, you'll be trekking about 2.6 miles through the stunning East Tennessee wilderness.
The trail begins at the Trillium Gap Trailhead and renders its way through the gorgeous old-growth forest.

You'll find Grotto Falls about 1.2 miles down the trail - it's not too far, and you can even take a couple of pictures and turn around, if it so suits you. The falls are roughly 25-feet high, and you'll hear the water before you see it.

One of the neatest things about Grotto Falls is that you can walk behind it. But please, please be careful. The rocks are slippery, and it can be a bit rough if you don't watch your step.
The Roaring Fork Trail is one of our favorite walks in Tennessee, and it offers such a beautiful bit of scenery - how could you not make a visit? Especially with fall colors like these!

Waterfalls are gorgeous, but in these Tennessee towns, something crazy happened.
