• Description:
  • On my way back to Knoxville, I decided to stop at another trailhead since it was still the early afternoon.  Because of the trail, views, and small section of class three scrambling this hike provided, I actually enjoyed it the most.  It was another tourist trail, but that didn't bother me.  I was a tourist too, and other that a few episodes of poor trail etiquette and seeing a some unprepared hikers, it wasn't too bad.  Although it was over 15 miles, I actually ended up having a 4,800' day.
