Description
We hiked from Klingman's Dome to Cades Cove and covered roughly 30 miles in three days descending over a thousand feet in the process. We encountered bear, wild boar, deer and every other kind of varmint. And since the Smokies of east Tennessee boast the largest variety of plant life on the continent we experienced vegetation filled environments ranging from high mountain balds to tropical rain forest in a very short period of time. The experience was my first all trail overnight hike and it hooked me for life!

Directions to Hike
Follow road map directions to Klingman's Dome in the Great Smokey Mtns and acquire a trail map of the AT at any outdoor supply store.
