Have you ever felt the urge to walk behind a waterfall…? Aw, c’mon now. We all have. We all ache for the ethereal, dream about something profound and exciting. Thankfully, Tennessee is on par with our fantastical urges – and we have lovely spots like Grotto Falls on the Trillium Gap Trail.
Located in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, the 3 mile round-trip hike to the falls is considered of "moderate" difficulty.
How tall is the waterfall, you ask? Grotto Falls measures at 25 feet tall.
