Hiking
Chestnut Top Trail is one of the first trails inside Smoky Mountain National Park that visitors pass when entering the park, but it's unassuming trailhead and singletrack trail don't see as users as some of the most popular trails in the park. The trail travels through pretty dense forest for a while (this is a rainforest, after all) with sporadic views of nearby mountainsides through breaks in the trees.
