Itinerary description
Long section of the Appalachian Trail suitable for vehicle support. No permit needed for the Smokies if you're daypacking. The section between Derrick Knob and Spence Field is the most demanding, with some rocky sections and scrambles. Otherwise, difficulty is due to distance. Southbound direction is less challenging because the last 6 or 7 miles to Fontana Dam are an easy runnable downhill slope.
