I have a window this spring for an 8 day section hike. I would like to finish in Hot Springs. Anybody have any suggestions on a good introductory trip for my kids to do with me? They are 11 and 14. My daughter has been with me to Grayson Highlands. She liked that hike with the great views, ponies, etc. Isn't Hot Springs after the Smokies? Or would the Smokies be good during late April?
