I'd vote for Camel Gap trail as the one with the best autumn foliage views in the Smokies. There's just one small problem: Getting there. Few trails in the Smokies are as difficult to access as Camel Gap trail. Join me via my hiking journal and linked photo gallery as I again hike Camel Gap trail to enjoy fabulous views of the fall colors. This hike will begin and end in the Cosby campground area of the Smokies and will traverse a distance of about 15.9 miles. Let's get started. Visit my website where you can link to the full story.
