Little Greenbrier Trail
Little Greenbrier Trail is a 3.4-mile out-and-back foot trail in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee. Difficulty: moderate, estimated from distance. That is the full hike: the mapped trail line runs 8.56 mi because it also covers connecting trails, so it is not the length of this hike. The figure is for the Park Service's “Hike to the Little Greenbrier School and Walker Homesite” hike, which uses this trail.
