About the Alum Cave Trail hike

2,550 feet of elevation gain over 5 miles: that is Alum Cave Trail, a point-to-point route in Great Smoky Mountains National Park running between 3,856 and 6,368 feet. The steepest pitch reaches 26 percent, against an average of 510 feet of gain per mile. On our gain-and-distance scale it falls in the strenuous band. The nearest town is Pigeon Forge, 20 km away.

Rather than a generic mountain graphic, the Alum Cave Trail print maps this exact route: 175 points of elevation data, 2,550 feet of gain, 5 miles end to end. The high point comes at the far end of the route. Pick a style and size on this page and it is printed to order.

The trail

The Alum Cave Trail, also known as Alum Cave Bluff Trail, is a hiking trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, in Sevier County, Tennessee. The trail ascends Mount Le Conte, the sixth highest mountain east of the Mississippi River, and passes by many notable landmarks, such as Arch Rock, Inspiration Point, and the Duckhawk Peaks before merging with Rainbow Falls Trail near the summit.
