About the Business

Inspiration Point is a must-visit tourist attraction located on the Alum Cave Trail in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, within the stunning Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This institution offers visitors the opportunity to experience the beauty of the ancient mountains, diverse plant and animal life, and remnants of Southern Appalachian mountain culture. As America's most visited national park, visitors can expect a truly unforgettable experience.

Before visiting Inspiration Point, it is important to note that a parking tag is required for stays longer than 15 minutes. It is also recommended to check the status of the park's roads, facilities, and trails before your visit. For those looking to explore the park by car, allow three to four hours to leisurely wind through Tennessee's Cades Cove, where you can enjoy wildlife sightings and historic structures.

Visitors should be aware that bears in the park are wild and their behavior can be unpredictable, so it is important to treat bear encounters with extreme caution. Due to high demand for parking, it is advisable to have a backup destination in mind and park responsibly with all wheels out of the roadway.

Whether you choose to stay at one of the park's frontcountry campgrounds or venture into the backcountry, there are endless opportunities for adventure at Inspiration Point. From feeling the cool spray of a waterfall to camping under the stars and exploring historic mills, there is plenty to see and do in this beautiful national park. Plan your visit to Inspiration Point today and immerse yourself in the natural wonders of the Great Smoky Mountains.

Brian Gresl:

"The views from this point were the pivotal moment in turning a somewhat disappointing visit into a wonderful experience. The way up is mostly uphill, but that makes the walk down a nice slow descent. Do yourself a favor and take a few moments to fully take in the beauty of the National Park."

"Breath taking view. It's the first thing you see after emerging from the woods. It's about 1.8miles into the hike. Definitely worth it."

"Beautiful hike up to Mt. Leconte today. Such an amazing jewel of a hike within the Smokies. It was a crisp fall day and the views were all clear the whole way up with good temperatures."
