Maybe the best hike in GSMNP! Leaving from the Cosby hiker parking, you gain a lot of elevation in the first 3 miles. Afterward the hike levels out to the tower with a little rock scrambling the last few hundred feet. The tower is beautiful...More
The Mount Cammerer trail from Cosby Campground is a very underrated hike. Out of the four hikes we did on our Smoky Mountain trip this was the most strenuous to me, but worth every bit of it and made the top of my list! The...More
