It was alright with me because it gave me the opportunity to log more Smokies miles. I had only two request...number one she drive and two we go to on the way back on the Gatlinburg Trail. Like I said previously this is a four-mile out-and-back from Sugarlands Visitors Center to Gatlinburg.
It is a hike along the Little River and while not to difficult is very picturesque. It was hard to believe that in a week that the foliage had bloomed out so much. The trail had the light green hue of mid-to-late spring. When we reached Gatlinburg we found another park sign that indicates the start of the Gatlinburg Trail. Unlike our last trip we took a left before the Park Headquarters (at the old cemetery) and picked up the trail to Cataract Falls.
This was my third trip here to Cataract Falls (see here & here), but this might have been the best flow I have seen on this 25-foot cascade. After that it was back to Sugarlands to finish our hike that came in around 4.75 miles...not bad.
