upper tremont road in great smoky mountains national park印象

I grew up visiting Cades Cove. I now spend more time on the side roads. There are many interesting sights through Tremont. Each time we've walked the trails; someone will tell us something to look for - old car, plane crash site, rocks that you can walk through. I don't recommend this for children - it's an easy walk, but more about the views and discoveries than entertainment.

Well worth the drive up.. I was a little confused at first, the sign said tremont institute... But was the road to take... Drive it to the end for breathtaking views right from the car.. There are hiking trails, but we don't hike so we just viewed from the car... Got out at the end and walked on the bridge to admire the beautiful water fall. Will go back

This trail is relatively undiscovered by the masses with a hard surface that is easy to walk. It goes along the river and has some spectacular waterfalls, beautiful views and a slight incline for good exercise but not strenuous.

Wow - what a beautiful drive up the Middle Prong. Very few cars and the stream is thundering and beautiful. We didn't have time to get out and hike at the end of the road, but we will be back.

Spectacular Fall Foliage Viewing. Wonderful Waterfalls, Peaceful Hike. One of God's Best Creations!!

It is a gravel road and we did enjoy the quietness and tranquility of the area. We didn't make it to the end because we had horseback riding scheduled not far from here, but what we saw of it was a treat. Worth the drive. Just beautiful!

Quiet, less traveled road with lots of pretty waterfalls, pull offs and access to the river. If you want to get away from the crowds, try this route.

Just the drive along the winding gravel path known as Tremont Road is a wonderful experience itself. Around every turn is a great wooded view of the river with hundreds of great places to take pictures, climb on the rocks, cool your feet off in the water and to share picnics. You never know what kinds of critters will greet you and at the end of the road is a trail that leads to amazing views of cascading streams. The early history of the area reveals itself in the form of an old steel bridge and ingrained human curiosity leaves you wanting to learn more.

You could spend all day in the Tremont area and not be bored. Of course,, beyond the Institute there are no bathrooms, even at the end of the road. There are lots of swimming holes and cascade after cascade are there, with a few almost roadside on the right side of the road. One particularly photogenic one is about marker 3 at a tiny bridge. This one is one of the few waterfalls what can take great photos midday, as can Spruce Flats Falls, which is about a mile or so past the end of the paved road on the left side. You can get there via the trail behind the Institute or you can ford the Middle Prong - but be very careful since this is swift water with lots of slick rocks. Photographers would be wise to bring a dry bag or Pelican case. Spruce Flats Falls has 5 levels from the Middle Prong and you have to be careful as you climb up the cliffs/boulders, but each level is worthy of photos. Great idea to bring trekking poles here. There is a nice waterfall to the left side of the bridge at the end of the road that you can access via a very short trail. It is not a swimming area due to the extremely swift water. This area is not "a one and done" kind of place because it changes so with each season and with varying amounts of rain. The spring greens are great as are the fall colors. Haven't been in the winter, but may rectify that.

The person working gave us excellent advice on a trail. Beautiful. A little tougher climb than I expect but beautiful waterfall.
