Great Smoky Mountains - Backpacking | 5 Day 81 mile loop

A re-release of my original Smoky Mountain backpacking trip. A more condensed version of my journey through the heart of the national park. This trip takes you to pioneer homesteads, dense forests, waterfalls and mountain vistas.

Awesome !! 👍 Day 3 had to have taken all you had ? I don’t think I could’ve done it . And then … your last day up dry sluice gap. I’ve climbed that one and back to newfound gap. No way could I have made the walk to the trailhead that you hiked to. Good job 👍 new sub!!

Thank you and thanks for subscribing. Day 3 was by far the hardest, especially that last leg up Beech Gap Trail was all up hill and about killed me. Yes, that 4 mile hike up Dry Sluice Gap first thing in the morning was brutal. Thank goodness, the last leg of the trip down Rainbow Falls trail was downhill. The Smokies are no joke when it comes to its trails...one of the hardest backpacking trips physically.
