My brother and I are planning on Hiking the smokies coming up in the near future. We would like to start on the far east side (Near Big Creak) and ending on the far west side (Near Fontana Dam) We would like to drop our car off at the beginning and take a bus back to the car. Is that possible? Anyone have any tips about hiking the smokies?
I am hiking the AT for the first time in a week. I found this site immensly useful as an overview. More importantly it has a list of AT shuttle services. Also you may want to check out www.whiteblaze.net instead of yahoo answers. There are forums here more suited to your specific interests. Good luck and have a great hike!
