Hey everyone! Heading up to the Smokies next weekend for a hike from Friday morning to Monday morning and was curious if any of you have any good loops that you would recommend for a beginner hiker who wants to see some cool features and stay/camp up as high as possible on the mountains?

I've been hiking before up there around Clingmans dome and camped at 68 for night then came back up to see Andrews bald before leaving. Is there any other spots in the park that have backcountry sites on and balds or any higher peaks that would be included in a loop? Trying to get all of this planned in a short notice unfortunately so all help would be greatly appreciated!

P.S. It's going to be memorial day weekend so hopefully you can point me to some cool sites that don't get too too crowded.

Thanks!!
