Admire the rushing waters of Rainbow Falls. It's even more spectacular after heavy rains!

This Gatlinburg cascade of water is an interesting spot to start your day of sightseeing. There's plenty to explore nearby, including Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and Wild Bear Falls Indoor Water Park. Take your time at Rainbow Falls before hitting up these other fine sights.

9/10 Wonderful! (18 reviews)

I like that it’s just outside of the main strip of Pigeon Forge. So, it’s a good safe and quiet place for anybody to stay especially if it’s their first time visiting.

Likes- right off parkway, near shopping, eating, entertainment options. Nice size of condo with spacious outdoor patio. Dislike- may sound weird but the unit had a musty or mildewy smell.

I found this growing under some ferns at the base of a rock on the trail to Rainbow Falls in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This is an “ off the beaten path” section of the park accessed from the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail. I’d love to know what it is if anyone has an idea! #Nature
