A Solo Great Smoky Mountains Winter Hike - Winter Hiking in Tennessee

Come with me on a winter solo hike in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I had planned on the Smoky Mountains for this winter hike, as I'm working on the Smoky Mountains 900 Miler Challenge, however I ran into the issue of a closed road, and needed to come up with a back up, back up trail. The trail I ended up on was the beginning of Sugarland Mountain Trail, from Little River Road to Huskey Gap. The Great Smoky Mountains are beautiful in the winter (and less crowded), so I'm very glad I was able to find an open road and trail.
