Chimney Tops Trail: Brutal Steep Climb for Panoramic Views

Don't underestimate this hike; it’s two miles of nonstop stairs and rocky inclines that will wreck your quads. The final scramble to the peak is officially closed for safety, but you still get solid views of the Smokies from the observation deck near the top. Start by 7am to dodge the weekend crowds and humidity. Bring more water than you think you need—this trail is a serious sweat fest that earns your post-hike burger.
