The hike to the top leading to the stunning slate spires of the Chimney Tops is beautiful and clear why it is one of the most popular in the Great Smoky Park. It is a round trip hike of 3.8 miles and you can find parking located off Newfound Gap Road, approximately 6.8 miles south of the Sugarland Visitor Center. There is a Picnic Area about 2.5 miles north of the trailhead.
