Rainbow Falls Trail

Rainbow Falls is a picturesque waterfall located in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. What’s it known for? Its vibrant rainbows, of course. The waterfall is located on the Rainbow Falls Trail, a 5.4-mile round trip hike that starts at the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail. The trail offers a strenuous hike through the lush forest of the Smokies, and visitors can see several other cascading waterfalls along the way. When visitors reach Rainbow Falls, they’ll be greeted by a breathtaking 80-foot tall waterfall that plunges into a deep pool of water below.
