Are you a nature person? If so, you’d be in absolute heaven out here in Tennessee. There are a million places to take pictures and reminisce on the wonder and beauty of the world – but we’ve spared you the time and trouble of finding them. Here are some of the best, without the trek.
- Baxter Creek Trail
Miguel Vleira / Flickr The best time of year to hike the trail is pretty much all year ‘round - but bring a coat in the winter! Snow can get iffy.
- Bledsoe Creek State Park
Mike_tn / Flickr The reflection in that water just gets us - so clear, so clean. This place is a must visit, for sure.
- Cherohala Skyway
Jim Liestman / Flickr Bald River Falls are located along the skyway, one that flirts with the Tennessee and North Carolina state line.
- Clingman’s Dome
Kevin Wood / Flickr The highest point in Tennessee absolutely has some beautiful views.
- Cumberland River
Paul Nicholson / Flickr The Cumberland River is memorialized in stories and songs, snaking its way through the belly of the state.
- Gatlinburg
Eoin Mcnamee / Flickr Jump on Ober Gatlinburg to get a really neat view of the city - hope you aren’t scared of heights!
- Honey Creek Trail
Jeff Moore / Flickr The caves that crop up along Honey Creek Trail are truly jaw dropping.
- Natchez Trace Parkway
Natalie Curtis / Flickr With over four hundred miles of driving distance, this is the opportune road for a trip through the state. It runs down to Mississippi!
- Pigeon Forge
Brandon Doan / Flickr All the views in Pigeon Forge are great, if you manage to get up high enough. Can you believe this sunset?!
- Roan Mountain
Jim Liestman / Flickr Come when the rhododendrons are flowering, an event that gets many people hustilin’ out in late June.
- Great Smoky Mountain National Park
Kevin Wood / Flickr Waterfalls and mountains and all the trails you can dream of reside in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, and it takes the #1 spot as the most visited national park in America.
- Lover’s Leap
Fuzzy Images / Flickr The famous Lover’s Leap is in Rock City, and the view PLUS that gorgeous waterfall are sure to make a memory you won’t forget.
How do you feel about these beautiful views? Have you been to any of these spots, or have recommendations? We’d love to hear!
