Backpacking the Great Smoky Mountains

Backpacking the Great Smoky Mountains National Park - Twenty Mike Trail Loop

In this episode, I cover day one of my backcountry camping adventure in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. On this backpacking trip, I met up with Andy from Metro on the Move, Brad from As the Crow Flies Hiking, and Taylor from Southern Hike. We hiked in from the Twenty Mile Trailhead up sections of the Wolf Ridge Trail, the Twenty Mile Loop Trails, the Twenty Mile Trail, and finally the Long Hungry Ridge Trail to campsite #92.

In later episodes, we hike up to the AT and the Shuckstack fire tower and then make the hike over to Gregory Bald and campsite #13 before hiking back to the Twenty Mile trailhead.
