What's New In The Smokies?
Foxfire Mountain’s Swinging BridgeFace a terrific fear by taking a walk across America’s longest swinging bridge. Swinging bridges have long been used in the Appalachian Mountains for folks to get from one mountain to another, and they’re made of steel cable, wood, rock and a lot of sweat. Start at the base camp at Foxfire across Dunn’s Gorge to Prosperity Mountain, a 400-foot trek that takes about one hour to complete.
