Smokies Waterfalls and Mountain Views Backpacking

Spend 3 days backpacking in one of our favorite corners of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, taking time to stop and enjoy the waterfalls and mountain views along the way. This trip takes place in the Big Creek area of Great Smoky Mountains National park - featuring Midnight Hole Falls and Mouse Creek Falls the first day, a strenuous hike up to Mt Sterling the second day, and finishing down the Baxter Creek Trail the last day. This itinerary is considered moderate difficulty, with lower mileage (18 miles total) and more elevation gain (5,200ft elevation gain). It is a good first backpacking trip for people with hiking experience or a regular fitness routine. It is also tons of fun for people with backpacking experience to share their love for the trail with others.
