This was truly one of the best hikes we've ever been on. Since we visited in February, the trail was mostly covered in snow and ice in some places. In my opinion, it only added to the beauty! Also, there were few hikers due to the weather. We were appropriately dressed with multiple layers (they came on and off depending on the moment) and sturdy hiking shoes. Would not recommend this hike in the winter without being prepared - we had water and power bars and were very happy about having them!The hike is pretty steep in places and we didn't make it all the way to the top because we were approaching sundown and didn't want to get stuck on icy trails in the dark. Will definitely be going back to hike all the way to the summit. And don't forget your camera!

This is a wonderful hike that will give you a great workout and plenty of exercise! Make sure you take your camera because you will want to take pictures the whole way up and back. Good chance you will see a bear too!

So me and my friend are not in the best of shape. We like to eat and we smoke. But we made it!. The Chimney Tops trail starts off by a river with beautiful rocks and white water. and ascends into the mountain. It is only 2.2 miles to get up, but then you have 2.2 to get back down. It was a great adventure I'll never forget and my tailbone won't forget it either. If you go in winter time, watch out for ice! We had to stop a few times to catch our breath. The top is absolutely fantastic. And all the other hikers cheer you on along the way, and let you know when you're getting close. Make sure you have enough time to get up and down the trail before sundown it gets dark! and phone flashlights are great until your phone dies. But the steps become slick with ice, I fell on my tailbone, still kinda hurts a month later. But that was one the best adventures I have ever done and dont regret a thing!

Very cool. It gains 1,300 ft. in just two miles & Chimney Tops are the reward at the end of the trail, if your afraid of heights this part my not be for you.

The hike to the chimney tops was not an easy one, but the summit offers amazing panoramic views of the mountains. My husband got all the way to the top!

First time to the Smoky Mtn and we really didn't plan much so we started driving, and stumbled upon this lookout. We stayed for approx 15-20 mins in just this one spot taking pictures and looking at the natural beauty of the area. This is a must stop if you are in the park

This is not a typical day hike. It is quite a journey uphill and once you arrive at the top, there is another difficult climb up a steep rocky incline to the highest peak.One the main trail up, there are stone steps part of the way. We happened upon snow, which we weren't expecting. This made it a very slow hike, as two of us didn't have shoes for icy ground. Coming down was difficult due to the two wearing UGGS. We fell a few times. However, it was amazingly gorgeous! There are several bridges over beautiful rocky creeks. This is not something you want to do with small children. You definitely need shoes with good traction. If going in winter, layer your clothing, and wear things you won't mind carrying as your body temperature rises. Take Chapstick and water. Go to the bathroom at the Sugarlands Visitor Center before driving up to the entrance.

This is a strenous 4 mile hike. It is not for the average hiker or small chidren. The first mile is easy (similar to Clingmans Dome hike) The last mile to the top is straight up with lots and lots of steps. The first mile follows the beautiful stream. We started our hike with some colored leaves still on the trees and a dusting of snow. By the time we reached the summit there was snow and ice on the pine trees. It was absolutely breath taking. The view is well worth the up hill climb. The last part of the hike is very rocky and difficult. The rocks can be slippery. Take high energy snacks and plan on several rest stops along the way. The hike down the mountain is effortless. Would definatley do this hike again. There are no restroom facilities at the trail head.

This was our favorite trail and we did about 3 or 4 of them. It isn't so bad the first part of the trail but the second half does get increasingly hard. If you are even somewhat active though it's an easy walk up and down. At the end there is a cliff where you can climb at your own risk on the rocks. We went about halfway up very easily. After that it gets a lot harder and my wife and I decided not to make the trip. We did see someone make the trip to the top though. Either way, both views are very rewarding, we saw it in law October and the view was great!

My husband and I visited the Great Smoky Mountains with the sole purpose of hiking, so this trail was a must do for us and it did not disappoint. The trail is not that long (although I do recommend breaking off onto Prong Road trail to see the waterfalls that are just a little out of the way) but it is strenuous. The first mile was not terribly difficult, but it got tough by the middle of the second mile. When you start thinking it could not possibly be that much farther, you are probably around halfway up. The elevation change is aggressive in the second mile. We passed a guy who said he used to think he was in good shape and I felt the same way by the time we got to the rock face. The beginning of the trail shows a picture of the rock face you have to climb to reach the summit and it is no exaggeration. In fact, I thought the picture did not truly show the sheer nature of the rock face. My husband is afraid of heights, so he originally only climbed about halfway to the summit. I went to the top and while it was a difficult climb, it was totally worth it. I am not afraid of heights and there was a moment when I got a little nervous. My husband did end up making the climb to the top despite his fear of heights and was glad he did. The view is incredible and the climb to the summit is not so difficult that someone who is afraid of heights can't do it. Not to be missed!
