Spruce Flats Falls, early Fall. Smoky Moments Photography
Oct 5, 2017 near Gatlinburg, TN
We had the falls to ourselves! Will definitely come back when warmer so kids can play in the water. Gorgeous! Well worth the short hike!

Such a pretty hike. Beautiful waterfall. Somewhat difficult. Rocks and tree roots. Some narrow path areas. Steep in a couple areas. Loved it :) — 1h 20m
