Grotto Falls, a roughly 25-foot waterfall, is said to be one of the most unique views in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is special, because you can walk behind its sheet of water thanks to an ample alcove beneath the overhanging lip. It's an easy 2.6-mile out-and-back hike.

Make sure you pack water & possibly a snack. Brother was getting bit by insects, so bug spray would be good. Walking stick for leverage. A good camera. A supportive backpack to carry your items. A small towel for if you decide to go into the falls a bit.
