  • Today I hiked the Cucumber Gap to Little River Trail Loop. It is located in the Elkmont area within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP). The loop is 5.5 miles and takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours to complete. Along the way there are lots of stone foundations and chimneys from cabins that used to be there. The David Chapman cabin has been refurbished and is open to the public for display. On Little River Trail, you can see Huskey Branch Falls. The trail follows the river for lots of scenic views. There are stone foundations and chimneys from cabin of the past on that trail also. Lastly, you can see the "Troll Bridge" which is one of my favorites. Overall, there is a lot to see on this trail and I would highly recommend it if you are in the area.

    We love this part of the park! It's really nice they are restoring the old cabins! I'm working on my fitness, so I'm ready for the trails this year. Thank you for taking us along, Travis!

      Sounds like a plan! 🙂 I haven't been able to hike as far this year. I need to work on my fitness also to extend the trails I'm able to do.

    My wife and I have hiked this loop when the cabins were still there. Nice loop to hike for a half day.

    There is a cabin off in the woods on Jake creek trail that’s pass the cucumber trail. It’s called the Avent cabin.

      I've been to Avent Cabin a couple of times. One of my favorite cabins in the Smokies.

    Nice old chinneys. Just think, they used to have their Alexa and flat screen on those fireplace mantels.
