Ramsey Cascades is the tallest waterfall in the park and one of the most spectacular. Water drops 100 feet over rock outcroppings and collects in a small pool where numerous well-camouflaged salamanders can be found. The trail to the waterfall gains over 2,000' in elevation over its 4 mile course and the 8-mile roundtrip hike is considered strenuous in difficulty. It follows rushing rivers and streams for much of its length. The last 2 miles pass through old-growth cove hardwood forest with large tuliptrees, basswoods, silverbells, and yellow birches. Do not attempt to climb to the top of the falls. Several people have been killed trying to do so.

The Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge is well worth the visit and admission price. To avoid disappointment, advance reservations are highly suggested.
The crime museum, which is appropriate for children and adults of all ages, has a great combination of interactive and museum-like exhibits. This museum is definitely worthy of a visit!
