This road trip is ready to loop you around Tennessee to 12 of the most stunning waterfalls in the state.

The Great American Road Trip

Road trips happen everywhere, but there is something uniquely "American" about a long road trip.  Sometimes they are just a means to an end, a way to get you to your destination.  However, sometimes the destination is the road trip itself.  For instance, many people have set out on Route 66 over the years, with the destination being Route 66 itself.  while Route 66 is the most well-known of the "great American road trips"  there are also road trips all across the United States that show off different areas.  If you love waterfalls, this is one road trip you need to take!

Epic Tennessee Waterfall Road Trip

I saw this post on Facebook shared by Hidden Gems USA, and they truly have figured out the ultimate road trip for waterfall lovers.  This is the Tennessee Waterfall Loop road trip.  The loop will take about 6 hours to complete, but let's be honest, this is one you'll want to plan over several days so you can truly soak in those breathtaking waterfall views.

This route will take you through some of Tennessee’s prettiest mountain country, and all of these falls are located within an hour or so of Cookeville, Tennessee where one of the state’s main waterfall attractions, Cummins Falls, awaits. Being centrally located to three of Tennessee’s biggest cities…Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga…you can start this loop from any one of the waterfalls depending upon where you’re coming from.

LOOKS: Things you'd likely see in an awesomely '80s garage

From scandalous bikini calendars to your dad's AMC Gremlin, '80s garages were a treasure trove of adventure, good fun, and sometimes downright danger.
