Great list. If you don't mind crowds, Ludlow Falls is a fun way to kill a Sunday morning.

[@JeffCarryOn]

We will have to check out Ludlow Falls.

Ludlow Falls in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park? Been visiting 3-4 times a year since 2000 and thought we have seen done every day hike/Waterfall hike in the park. Can't find a Ludlow fall in any of our books on the Great Smoky Mountains. Where in the park would that be?

Enjoyed! Grotto and Ramsey are two of our frequent Smoky's hikes; however, we are only now posting videos of our M&M Adventures. Abram's falls is another fun hike with swimming opportunities. Charlies Bunion, Gregory Bald, and Andrews Bald are some other great places to visit.

Spruce Flatts Falls, Tremont rd. Park at the Great Smoky Mountain institute parking lot. Beautiful short 3/4 mile hike and our favorite Waterfall . Great flow even in times of little rain. Farther up on Tremont rd. is the prettiest and easiest waterfall hike in the Smokies, Middle Prong Trail. Lynn Camp Falls and many other smaller cascades on the beautiful Middle Prong Trail.

Thanks for sharing!

I was there a couple days ago and can confirm that its a great waterfall for a short hike.

Nicely done, Jeff. We're trying to figure out which ones to see in a couple of weeks. Do you remember which are at the highest elevation?

[@JeffCarryOn]

Ramsey is the highest of the 3 I reviewed. The hike is a 2,200 ft climb. Elevation is above 4,200. Rainbow Falls is right around the same elevation. Not sure which is officially the highest elevation. In my experience, Rainbow is busier but absolutely beautiful.

[@RoadtrippinwithTakacs]

@@JeffCarryOn Thanks! We are hoping to see good fall color at the higher elevation.

[@glitteru]

how do you know you are on the right path and hw much farther -

[@JeffCarryOn]

Pretty standard trail markings as well as indicators for how far along you are. You are not going to get lost. Can always bring a map.

I'm gonna guess that you are a Pisces.

[@JeffCarryOn]
