Not elevation gain/loss, I can see that on the map.
Wondering if the trail allows for fast miles that would allow for either Clingman's to Fontana or Newfound to I-40 in a long day?
We usually do 2.5 mph when day hiking; can one make that pace in the Smokies if starting high and hiking downhill either direction?
