Review:

Great Smoky Mountains National Park is full of gorgeous cascading waterfalls, and the tallest of these is Ramsey Cascades, which has a drop of over 100 feet.

The waterfall is accessible via a hike along the Ramsay Cascades Trail, which begins in the Greenbrier area and extends for 4 miles each way.

During the hike, the level of elevation increases by over 2,000 feet, over rivers and through forests along a strenuous trail that is recommended for experienced hikers in good physical condition.

All the difficulty is rewarded, however, in the end by the view of the falls, which collect at the bottom in a picturesque pool full of large rocks and salamanders.
