Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Big Creek is an exceptionally beautiful and photogenic waterway located in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Beginning as a mere trickle near the Appalachian Trail, Big Creek eventually tumbles its way down the mountains, cascading through mazes of boulders and rocks. Here, spring has finally blossomed in the understory of the forest, creating spectacularly vibrant greens. The sun setting downstream reflects as a golden glow on the mountains behind the cascade.
