Review:
The Chimney Tops Trail is one of the most popular in the entire park, and although the going is tough, the views at the end make it all worth it.
A round trip from the trailhead and back again is only 4 miles, but the elevation gain during the 2-mile trek out is about 1,400 feet, with a steep scramble over rocks that can get quite slippery in wet or icy weather.
The Chimney Tops Trail extends over flowing streams, rocky terrain, and switchbacks along the slopes of the mountain before reaching the rocky pinnacle known as the Chimney, where hikers will be treated with rewarding views.
