3-day Backpacking on the Appalachian Trail from Gatlinburg, TN

Composed of high peaks, low valleys, meadows, forest and streams, hiking on the Appalachian Trail rightfully should be on every hiker's bucket list.

Join us and backpack through a particularly scenic portion in Smoky Mountain National Park!

After meeting up in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, where we will briefly go over our itinerary, we will head right out onto the trail at New Found Gap.

We'll begin our three day adventure by hiking for 5 miles at up about 5,000 feet above sea level, enjoying some fantastic views of the surrounding scenery and vegetation as we go.

On the second day, we will continue ascending and descending along the trail for about 8 to 12 miles, getting more great views and learning a bit about the storied culture of this part of the country. We'll finish the day in one of the most remote sections of the entire national park.

On our third and final day, we will hike for about 6 to 10 miles through this remote part of the park, before descending into a valley with pristine streams, learning a bit about the region's ecology as we go.

At the end of our hike, a shuttle bus will pick us up and take us back to Gatlinburg where we will say goodbye.
