📍 Laurel Falls, Great Smoky Mountains National Park This 2.3 mile roundtrip hike is one of the most highly-visited in the national park. It’s so popular because the upper and lower sections of the waterfall are divided by a walkway. For the best pictures of this 80 ft. waterfall with less crowds, go early in the morning. We started at 7:30 a.m. and were the only ones out. On our way back around 8:15 a.m., the parking lot was already full! ⚠️ If traveling with children, be mindful of the steep drop-offs. #hike #getoutside #smokymountains #smokymountainsnationalpark #laurelfalls #travel #explore #naturelovers #wanderlust #waterfall #waterfalls #tennessee #chasingwaterfalls #waterfallsfordays #waterfallsofinstagram #thisboundlesslife
