Trillium Gap Trail to Mount LeConte: Waterfalls, Wildflowers, & Mountain Views! A number of different paths access the third-highest peak in the Great Smokies, and one of the all-around best is the Trillium Gap Trail. Close to 14 miles round-trip, this route spreads out the 3,401 feet of elevation gain for a gentler ascent than, say, the Rainbow Falls Trail, and along the way it passes behind the remarkable 25-foot liquid curtain of Grotto Falls. You’ll have access to multiple world-class vantages on Mount LeConte, most notably Myrtle Point, and you might be lucky enough to run into one of the llama pack strings that haul supplies along the Trillium Gap Trail to LeConte Lodge. Insider Tips: -Though Trillium Gap Trail is beautiful, keep in mind that this is a relatively strenuous hike. Allow adequate time to ascend and return, and bring plenty of water and snacks for the trip. -With many native wildflowers along the Trillium Gap Trail, this hike makes the perfect spring hike! Trailhead and Parking Traffic lights in Gatlinburg are numbered, so if you are visiting the trail from the city, begin at traffic light number 8. Turn onto Historic Natural Trail and follow it several miles until you reach Cherokee Orchard Loop Road inside Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Follow the loop nearly a mile before turning right onto Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail. Like the loop, this is a one-way road. The Trillium Gap Trail parking area will be on your left approximately a mile and a half down the road. We recommend arriving early for a parking space, as they fill up quickly. Don’t fret if you find a full lot, though; additional parking is available further up the road — you’ll just need to do a little walking to reach the trailhead.
