Appalachian Trail Hike, June 2003

Myself, my nephew Kris Beckwith, and Henry Trost of Nashville did this hike from June 18th to June 21st 2003. We were shuttled to Clingman's Dome to begin the approximate 21 mile hike back to the Jeep waiting at the Cades Cove ranger's station. More mileage was added in side routes before we finished the trip. June is a wonderful time of year to be in the high Smokies! Enjoy.
