Quiet Walkways Details

The popularity of Great Smoky Mountain National Park poses a bit of a dilemma to visitors who are looking for quiet solitude. Roads, picnic areas, scenic sites, and even hiking trails can often be crowded. The "quiet walkways" marked at various spots along park roads help solve the problem with small side trails accessible by small parking lots that accommodate only a couple of vehicles at a time, helping to guarantee a peaceful walk in the woods.
