Great Smoky Mountains National Park

グレート・スモーキー山脈国立公園の滝

Stunning Waterfalls

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park features a diverse collection of cascades and falls shaped by high annual rainfall and ancient geology. This selection ranges from the 100-foot Ramsey Cascades, situated within old-growth forests, to the 80-foot Rainbow Falls, known for its prismatic mist. Notable highlights include Grotto Falls, which allows passage behind the water curtain, and the high-volume Abrams Falls in Cades Cove. Many sites, such as Laurel Falls, are accessible via established hiking trails or roadside viewing points.
