Grotto Falls (GSMNP)

Less traditional view of Grotto Falls

 

According to the National Park Service (www.nps.gov/grsm/planyourvisit/grotto-falls.htm), "Trillium Gap Trail meanders through an old-growth hemlock forest and actually runs behind the 25 foot high waterfall. The cool, moist environment near the falls is ideal for salamanders and summer hikers. The hike is 3 miles roundtrip and considered moderate in difficulty."
