trips - Bike & Hike Smoky MountainsTrip Info
DescriptionThis is what I'm thinking for now... June 22: I'm not sure where I'm spending the night, but I know it'll be somewhere close to Townsend so I can get to Cades Cove early Saturday morning. June 23: 1. Meet at the Cades Cove parking area for bike riders between 7:30-8:00am. Take off on our bikes and ride the Cades Cove loop starting at approximately 8am. The bike ride usually takes about 2 hours. The cars are allowed on the loop beginning at 10am so I like to be finished by then. 2. Drive over to the nearby Cades Cove ranger station and get our backpacking permits for campsite #70. No reservation is required. 2. Drive to Townsend and grab some lunch. 3. Drive to Clingmans Dome parking area and park the cars (12-1pm ?). This overnight backpacking trip is a loop so no shuttling of cars is necessary. Hike the Forney Ridge Trail past Andrews Bald to Springhouse Branch Trail, and then to Forney Creek Trail and campsite #70. (approx. 10 m ) Set up camp and chill out. June 24th: 4. Hike the Forney Creek Trail to Forney Ridge trail and then on to Clingmans Dome parking area. (approx. 8 m ) If you only want to bike with us at Cades Cove then that's great. If you only want to hike with us then that's great. If you want to do both then that's great too!
