I'm planning a hike on the AT from Newfound Gap to Fontana Dam. Some of the highlights are the highest elevation on the AT (Clingmans' Dome), grassy balds, beech forests, and ridge walks to name a few.

Saturday, We will hike from Double Springs to Derrick Knob Shelter. 6.3mi

Sunday, Hiking from Derrick Knob to Mollies Ridge Shelter. 11.1mi

Monday, Hike out from Mollies Ridge to Fontana Dam. 9.5mi
