If you're a hiker, there are plenty of great hikes to view the beautiful colors, he suggests, Forney Ridge Trail to Andrews Bald, Mt. Sterling, Ramsey Cascades, Abrams Falls, Appalachian Trail to Charlies Bunion, Rich Mountain Loop, Clingmans Dome, and Mt. Cammerer Fire Tower, but there are plenty of other great places to hike in the Smokies!
