Most thru-hikers argue this is one of the best areas of the entire 2189 mile trail. Breathtaking views, wildflowers, wild ponies, and massive rock outcroppings make for many photo opportunities. Lunch at either Wise or Thomas Knob Shelter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2f6d404611a08a0ed46d89/1550078096394-IGEMJCMCHB653O02QTDM/20130528_132448.jpg Half-day hikes - View from buzzard Rock Start out this hike by viewing beautiful Hidden Valley Lake, walking over the dam and around the lake. Then trek 3 miles out and back to the incredible views from Buzzard Rock via the Brumley Mountain Trail. One of the easier hikes with a very nice view. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2f6d404611a08a0ed46d89/1549635954759-2BY8L0HG45Z1S9VBFBTS/PA090004.JPG Half-day hikes - Beartree gap Enjoy the great scenery around the Beartree Gap area. Choose from a couple different spur trails that connect with Iron Mountain Trail. The IMT used to be the route of the AT up until 1972, when it was re-routed. Excellent photo opportunities around the lake, and even take a very refreshing dip at the beach if you desire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2f6d404611a08a0ed46d89/1547045562767-9W674SYIUZMYNSI52O6O/DSCN0124.JPG Half-day hikes - FLint Mill gap A 1300 ft elevation gain in 1 mile via US Forest Service flint mill trail. Steep gradient, but incredible view of south holston lake and surrounding areas at the top on flint rock! Lunch on flint rock. Suggested for experienced hikers who like a challenge with a great reward at the top. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2f6d404611a08a0ed46d89/1549719817347-34J39Q0ZQGDQ6ZQYN0HN/20190207_133414.jpg Half-day hikes - Cabin creek falls A fairly short, but fairly technical hike with some outstanding waterfalls! Two different routes available to the falls, one being a difficulty of 3, the other a difficulty of 4. See several cascading falls along cabin creek within Grayson Highlands State Park, with the highest reaching 30 ft (9m.) This trail also features wild rhododendrons and mountain laurel. Excellent photo opportunities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2f6d404611a08a0ed46d89/1548360238218-THTBC2X6D0S1OIQ7NZIF/P7210038.JPG Half-day hikes - The Great channels Hike up to the beautiful and very intriguing channels formations via the Brumley Mtn Trail. Get the chance to walk through the maze of tunnels cut out by eroding sandstone and experience an almost cave like ecosystem and climate. Lunch at the old fire tower that stands on top of the mountain. One of the most unique geological sites in the area. Due to popularity, I recommend a weekday (if possible) if you prefer a less crowded trip. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2f6d404611a08a0ed46d89/1552591085356-M2PRBWUV0FEBDI1OS3JL/DSCN0225.JPG Half-day hikes - View from high rocks Choose from two relatively short, but somewhat technical hikes out to an incredible view from white rocks overlook.

Begin with an easy 3 mile hike on an old railroad bed along the Guest River Gorge in the Jefferson National Forest. Travel through the Swede tunnel which was built in 1922, and across one of the trestle bridges built across the river. Many unique sandstone formations, waterfalls, and overlooks of the river gorge are on this walk. Then travel to Little Stony Falls trail, also in the Jefferson National Forest, and do a 5 mile moderate hike to see the upper, middle and lower falls. Take a quick swim under the pool of the upper falls if you prefer to https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2f6d404611a08a0ed46d89/1552871462562-LOXEYCWXLTA2CVRHW71I/DSCN0226.JPG full -day hikes - white rocks overlook Journey up to White Rocks via the boundary trail of Crystal Springs Recreation Area, and the white rocks spur trail for a 9 mile out and back.
