Gatlinburg trail running in three weeks. I love running through the mountains. Wish I lived closer.

Also, which trail(s)???
Great uphill to Rainbow Falls. Easily done in the hours round trip. Really nice waterfall. Need to be in good shape but i took the kids up last year. You can continue beyond the falls to Mt Leconte for a great day hike.

There are obviously many more trails but these are close to Gatlinburg and easily accessible. We are staying in Pigeon Forge. So accessibility is important. I don't want to drive all morning.
If you haven't been, Ogle Place is a nice stroll around an old homestead. Usually see deer and turkey in the area.
