Little Brier Gap Trail (Walker Sisters Cabin)Easy

Little Brier Gap trail is a short and easy hike suitable for children. It is most well known for the Walker Sisters Cabin, which you can find just over a mile from the trailhead at Little Greenbrier School.

The trailhead is located very close to the northern border of the national park between Townsend and Gatlinburg, just west of the Sugarlands Visitor Center. From Wears Valley you can reach it via Line Springs Road from Highway 321. Upon entering the Great Smoky Mountains National Park this road turns into Wear Cove Gap Road, and Little Greenbrier Road is less than a mile in on your left. From Gatlinburg and the Sugarlands Visitor Center, take Fighting Creek Gap Road all the way to Metcalf Bottoms to find the intersection with Wear Cove Gap Road.

A popular way to reach the Walker Sisters Cabin is by parking at Metcalf Bottoms and heading northeast on Metcalf Bottoms Trail for 0.7 of a mile before reaching the Little Greenbrier School. From here, find the beginning of Little Brier Gap Trail at the gated access road behind the cemetery. Continue 1.1 miles on Little Brier Gap Trail to reach the Walker Sisters Cabin. At the 0.75 mile mark, there is a sign indicating the Walker Sisters cabin is reached via a spur trail (<0.25 m) on your right. Little Brier Gap continues on forward to reach the intersection with Little Greenbrier Trail.
