Last Days of Summer Hiking In The Smokies


Here is a quick day blog on my outing Thursday in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP). This was a shuttle hike from Newfound Gap down the Appalachian Trail (which I have done a few times). However, instead of heading toward the Boulevard Trail or out to Charlies Bunion we took a right at the first trail junction down the Sweat Heifer Trail and cascades of the same name.



We hiked to the end of it at the Kephart Shelter and then down a trail that shares the same name...the Kephart Prong Trail to Kaniti Fork. All-in-all about 7.5 miles, and I only got rained on once and I got to sweep the hike...it was a good day.
