Hike the AT through the Smokey mountain National Park. There is about 75 miles of the AT that run through that park. Just do 3 days worth. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> We just hiked 4 miles of it from Newfound Gap on my trip a couple weeks ago and really enjoyed it. Caught a glimpse of a Black bear eating berries in front of us on the trail - then he bolted.
