8 days of hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains! We did 78 miles and 2 1/2 miles of elevation gain hiked over 8 days inside the Great Smoky Mountain National Park! We saw most of the big waterfalls and a couple of mountain tops. I couldn’t ask for a better way to spend our 25th wedding anniversary last week! Hiking trails to the top of mountains and to waterfalls is a lot like a 25-year marriage. Stay the course and get rewarded with many spectacular times along the way! We started off hiking to the top of Mt. LeConte. We did a bunch of waterfalls in between. Then we ended up the trip on Charlie’s Bunion mountain peak. Spectacular!
