The view from our cabin!
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n

Every year the calendar changes to October and I am craving cooler weather, fall leaves and fun times around the fire pit.\u00a0 Being a Floridian, I really miss the change of the seasons and all the fall feels.\u00a0 So this year we road tripped to North Carolina with some friends and enjoyed a great weekend in the Smoky Mountains.\u00a0 Great Smoky Mountains National Park<\/a> (GMSNP) straddles the borders of North Carolina and Tennessee and is the most visited national park in the US.\u00a0 I’ve detailed our trip below but make sure you read through to the end of my post – I’ve included a great list of things to do for all ages!<\/p>\n

Starting Point – Bryson City, North Carolina<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bryson City<\/a> is a picturesque little mountain town in western North Carolina and is considered an excellent home base to explore all the Great Smoky Mountains National Park has to offer.\u00a0 Besides being a starting point for outdoor adventure and hiking it has many shops, restaurants and breweries.\u00a0 It’s the perfect starting point for a weekend in the Smoky Mountains!<\/p>\n

\"Bryson<\/p>\n

The Perfect Cabin<\/h1>\n

\"By<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A friend offered us her cabin in Bryson City.\u00a0 This cabin was the best!!\u00a0 It was just a short drive down the mountain to downtown Bryson City.\u00a0 And although we went into town a number of times, there were quite a few things to keep us busy back at the cabin.\u00a0 The cabin offered us everything – – mountaintop solitude, rustic charm, fun all-terrain vehicles, Shiloh – the neighborly dog looking for treats, a cozy fireplace, game room and beautiful mountain views in every direction.<\/p>\n

So Much To Do During A Weekend In The Smoky Mountains<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We planned a few hikes, most were easy to moderate, one was a little more challenging – and I’ve got all the details below.\u00a0 You will see all the highlights, a list of great restaurants and things to do – we have spent more time than just a weekend in the Smoky Mountains over the years.\u00a0 It’s driving distance from South Florida and is just a great place for all ages.\u00a0 So the list includes things we have done over the years as well as on this weekend.<\/p>\n

Hiking<\/h1>\n

You could spend a really long time hiking all the trails in western North Carolina and GMSNP.\u00a0 Below I have listed a few favorites near Bryson City.<\/p>\n

*IMPORTANT – Please check the GMSNP<\/a> website before heading out on the trails to check for alerts and trail closures.\u00a0 GSMNP and NC have a large population of black bears and their activity sometimes causes closures.<\/p>\n

Some Great Hikes:<\/h3>\n

Tom Branch Falls at Deep Creek<\/strong> – 1\/4 mile from the parking area.\u00a0 Very easy walk and beautiful in all seasons.\u00a0 In summer we’ve tubed down Deep Creek and had a blast.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Deep Creek Trail<\/strong> – Hike as far as\u00a0 you like on this 5-mile loop and trace your footsteps back after you’ve had enough or do the whole loop.\u00a0 Easy to moderate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"Jayci<\/p>\n

Juney Whank Falls<\/strong> – Also part of the Deep Creek Trails and only 1\/3 mile in the other direction of the parking lot.\u00a0 Short trail to a close up view of a waterfall.<\/p>\n

Alum Cave Trail<\/strong> – Trailhead is on Newfound Gap Road in GSMNP, about 1 hour from Bryson City.\u00a0 (Trail is in Tennessee.) The trail follows Alum Cave Creek , a little over a mile in you will reach Arch Rock.\u00a0 I loved this hike – you can see I took a lot of photos!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"Alum<\/p>\n

\"Arch<\/p>\n

\"Me<\/p>\n

Another mile in gains some elevation and takes you to a bald with great views.<\/p>\n

\"Alum<\/p>\n

Not too much further is Alum Cave.\u00a0 It’s actually not a cave but an 80-foot high concave bluff that is 500 feet long!<\/p>\n

\"Jackson<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Arrive to the trailhead at Alum Cave before 10 am to ensure a parking space.\u00a0 This hike took us about 2-3 hours.\u00a0 We had packed a picnic lunch and stopped at Chimneys Picnic Area<\/strong>.\u00a0 Its further into TN and the fall colors on this part of the drive were amazing!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Road to Nowhere<\/strong> – A beautiful drive outside of Bryson City where Lake View Drive in Swain County ends at a tunnel.\u00a0 The tunnel is where your hike begins and leads to a network of trails.\u00a0 We wound up getting lost but the trails mostly form a loop so we ended in the general area we started. LOL.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Great Restaurants and Things To Do in Bryson City<\/h1>\n

Mountain Perks<\/strong><\/a> – A great place for a casual breakfast or lunch or to order sandwiches for your hike.\u00a0 They offer gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options.\u00a0 Woohoo!<\/p>\n

Nate & Nick’s<\/strong><\/a> – Beer and pizza.\u00a0 Nothing to write home about but nice seating outside if the weather is good.<\/p>\n

Guayabito’s Mexican Restaurant<\/strong><\/a> – Casual and authentic Mexican food in a small strip mall.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anthony’s Italian Restaurant<\/strong><\/a> – Gluten free pizza is available here, but was not the best.\u00a0 Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meals.<\/p>\n

The Warehouse at Nantahala Brewing<\/a> –<\/strong> Just down the road from the Nantahala Brewing Company is this restaurant with outdoor seating, firepit and cozy dining room.\u00a0 I had the best noodle bowl with brisket which was totally unexpected!<\/p>\n

Nantahala Outdoor Center<\/strong><\/a> – Whitewater rafting, canopy zip line tours, restaurant, gear store, lodging and wilderness classes.\u00a0 Even if you aren’t planning an adventure this a fun place to stop and see all the activity.<\/p>\n

Tuckaseegee Fly Shop<\/strong><\/a> – Fishing gear and guided trips.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Great Smoky Mountains Railroad<\/strong><\/a> – Scenic train rides and the Polar Express Christmas excursion.\u00a0 Just some old time fun!<\/p>\n

Gem Mining<\/strong> – When our kids were younger gem mining was always the highlight of our trips to the NC mountains.\u00a0 There are numerous spots to gem mine in the area.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cooper Creek Trout Farm<\/strong><\/a> – Stocked ponds to fish with crickets.\u00a0 All the fishing gear is available, just bring your smile.\u00a0 This was a fun excursion and the kids are practically guaranteed to catch fish.\u00a0 Plus the charming atmosphere is free!\u00a0 We caught our dinner for the night!<\/p>\n

Elk Watching at Cataloochee\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>– Elk were reintroduced to GSMNP in 2002 and 2003.\u00a0 It’s 1 1\/2 hours from Bryson City, but a nice ride through the park.\u00a0 Elk shed their antlers every year and the rangers in the park have some large antlers to see and touch.<\/p>\n
