Look Rock Tower Trail winds roughly a mile roundtrip through dense hardwood forest from Foothills Parkway West to an observation tower with panoramic views. It is one of only a few completely paved trails in the Smokies and generally suitable for most hikers, though it does include some steep inclines. Photo provided by Smokies Life.
