Description
On my way back to Knoxville, Tennessee, I decided to stop at another trailhead since it was still the early afternoon. Because of the trail, views, and small section of class three scrambling this hike provided, I actually enjoyed it the most. It was another tourist trail, but that didn't bother me because I was a tourist too. I actually ended up hiking 15 miles and gaining 4,800' for the day.
