Reviving this thread. Looking for some more 3 to 4 day loop ideas, doing 10+ miles a day


i dont have map in front of me so i cant figure out mileage but here's a decent route........

gives you a little of everything...

start at clingmans dome.............take AT to welch ridge...............welch ridge to hazel creek....

stay somewhere along hazel creek........

next day, hazel creek to lakeshore turning left......

cut across lake shore to 81 or 76 ............stay night.....

lakeshore over to forney creek and take that up to 68 or 69.....

stay night..........

then forney creek climb back up to the parking lot of clingmans dome.....

along the way-----views from the ridge of the AT..........waterfall and creek on hazel creek......

lots of historical elements like old homesites and cemeteries all the way over to forney.....

after the climb up, could shoot over to andrews bald and check that out before heading to parking lot....
