The Overlook is located along the Gatlinburg Bypass, a beautiful way to skirt the town if you&#8217;re heading north or south on Highway 441. As you&#8217;ll recognize when you get there, the Overlook offers the iconic Gatlinburg view that always looks so amazing in every season &#8211; under rain or snow, in the bright colors of spring, or the warm fall colors with their remarkable diversity for which the Smoky Mountains are famous.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail<\/strong><br \/>\nRoaring Fork Motor Nature Trail seems almost too good to be true. It&#8217;s less than 6 miles long, but you could literally take all day to travel through it. It could have been a walking trail, but thanks to the Park Service a one-way driving road has been created with all the sights and sounds of a nature hike. The motor trail begins just outside Gatlinburg, and winds uphill and down again, offering views of rushing mountain streams as well as a number of log cabins, gristmills and other historic buildings. Several trailheads are in reach of the motor trail and there are numerous places to stop and sit or wander around, as well as two scenic overlooks. Charge your camera before you go.

Most trails lead to scenic views, historic houses or gorgeous waterfalls and many of the sights are unique. Some of the more noteworthy trails you\u2019ll find include: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/things-to-do\/abrams-falls\/\">Abrams Falls<\/a>, Rainbow Falls and the Cove Mountain\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/things-to-do\/laurel-falls\/\">Laurel Falls<\/a> trail.
