Two signs at Laurel Falls TrailheadGreat Smoky Mountains National ParkTwo signs at Laurel Falls Trailhead. LAUREL FALLS TRAIL This trail assends gradually for 1 1/3 miles to Laurel Falls. It is an easy and delightful walk through a forest which was logged and ravaged by wildfire long before the park was established in 1934. For these reasons, big trees are scarce. With natural reforestation and protection many of the scars are healing rapidly. Beyond Laurel Falls the trail continues for 3 miles to Cove Mountain Lookout where there is an excellent panaramic view of the surrounding mountains and is worth the challenge. For text of second sign, see II-A-Sign-4594.Signs; Trail Users Info, II-A-(Sign)-4595, Physical Facilities - Minor Structures - Signs
Smokemont Nature Trail signGreat Smoky Mountains National ParkSmokemont Nature Trail: A century ago the only people who visited these mountains were a few white pioneers and the Cherokee Indians. Then came the early settlers who cultivated the fertile valleys and some of the sloping mountainsides. These were followed by lumbermen-sawmills were operating here only a few decades ago. Finally there came the establishment of preserving all the plant and animal life for all time. This nature trail circles back to this place in less than a leaflet and stopping at the numbered guide-posts you will become better acquainted with the Smokemont portion of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Please- no picnicking along this trail.Signs; Smokemont Nature Trail, II-A-Sign-4687, Physical Facilities - Minor Structures - Signs
