Grotto Falls Halloween hike + LeConte Llamas (Great Smoky Mountains)

Trillium Gap Trail to Grotto Falls & Brushy Mountain
Location: Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Date hiked: 10/31/22
Miles hiked: 6.2
Trails hiked: Trillium Gap (map link below)

Jerry and I did a Halloween hike on Trillium Gap Trail to Grotto Falls and Brushy Mountain junction in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We dressed as llamas in homemade costumes I made last minute. We hiked past Grotto Falls and up to the Brushy Mountain junction where we ate lunch and waited for the Mt. LeConte llamas to pass by. We got the pleasure of not only seeing the pass but getting to briefly hike with them down the mountain. We then waited at Grotto Falls to watch them pass under the waterfall. It was the best epic Halloween hike ever!! Don't miss our awesome llama photoshoot at the end of the video! 😂
