Visit the charming trail towns along the AT — hiker hostels, mountain views, and communities shaped by America's most famous footpath.
The psychological midpoint of the AT and home to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. Rich Civil War history too.
Skyline Drive runs 105 miles along the Blue Ridge crest. Over 500 miles of hiking trails branch off through the park.
Known as "Trail Town USA." The Virginia Creeper Trail starts here and the town celebrates Trail Days every May.
The only town where the AT runs directly through the Main Street. Soak in the natural mineral hot springs.
America's most visited national park. Clingmans Dome offers views from the highest point on the AT.
A mountain resort town at the park's entrance. Take the aerial tramway to Ober Mountain for Smoky Mountain panoramas.
