Great Smoky Mountain National Park

Welcome to the AA Cabins in the Smokies! Our cabins are all located with the Smokies in view and close proximity. Most cabins are within 15 minutes of the National Park. We love the Great outdoors and encourage you to spend time in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park which is the county's number one attraction. Hiking and fishing and just enjoying the sounds of the mountain brooks will provide vacation memories to last a lifetime.

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited national park in the United States with almost ten million visitors per year. The second most visited national park is Grand Canyon National Park, which receives only half as many visitors.

Hiking and fishing are some of the most popular activities in the National Park.

A good place to start your journey is the Sugarlands Visitors Center on Route 441 at the Gatlinburg entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. There are nature exhibits, a short film, guidebooks, maps, and park rangers who give lectures guided strolls, and answer questions. This is where you will pick up camping, hiking & fishing permits.

The most popular drive through the park is Newfound Gap Road, which is 26 miles long and crosses the park to the southeast. It begins at Sugarlands which is at an elevation of 1,436 feet, it rises to more than 5,000 feet above sea level at Newfound Gap.

The most spectacular stop is Clingman's Dome, accessible by a 7-mile side road. At 6,643 feet above sea level, Clingman's Dome is the highest point in the Smokies, and the third highest mountain east of the Mississippi.

Other motor trails exist for the "armchair" visitor. The most famous is the Cades Cove Loop, which is also a historical tour of those who settled in the valley. Northeast of Gatlinburg off Rte. 321 is the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail Loop which takes you up the western flank of Mt. LeConte.

Chimney Tops
The chimneys top a sheer rise of almost 2,000 feet and were known to the Cherokee as "Dukiskwal-guni" (forked antlers). From the overlook on Newfound Gap Road, passersby can see the 30-foot deep "flue" in the right-hand peak which gives the outcropping its name. The Chimneys Picnic Area, located in a ravine on the mountain's side, is an excellent place to stop for a leisurely lunch.

Mt. LeConte
Mt. LeConte is the Park's third highest peak at 6,593 feet. Despite runner-up ranking, LeConte serves as the focal point of the Park. The summit offers unforgettable views from two different overlooks, Myrtle Point and Cliff Top. Hikers can choose from five different trails to the top, ranging from 11 to 16 miles roundtrip

Charlie's Bunion
This 1,000-foot sheer drop-off can be found four miles east along the Appalachian Trail. The cliff is named after a bunion that prevented Charlie Conner, an Oconaluftee settler, from traveling through the Gap in 1928. Fellow travelers claimed the bare mountain resembled their friend's bunion.

Andrew's Bald
A picture-perfect picnic spot, Andrews Bald offers glorious views of the towering mountain ranges of North Carolina and Georgia. It's a 3.6 mile roundtrip hike from the Forney Ridge parking area at Clingmans Dome and is the most accessible bald in the Park.

We offer 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8 Bedroom Cabins.

Smokemont
This area was first a pioneer settlement called Bradleytown. During the 1920s logging boom, Smokemont became a busy village, sawmill and railroad terminal to haul lumber down from the forest. Today, it is a popular Park campground with a self-guiding nature trail through the reborn forest.

The Scavenger Hike Adventure Book is an excellent way to enjoy the Smokies, whether you are a romantic couple or a family looking to reconnect! Available online at www.scavengerhikeadventures.com this book provides a great way to learn about all the sites and sounds of the National Park.
