This was enjoyable. Looked like a fun day

[@goldenblazehikes]

Thanks Wes. Unsure what to do about the elk other than stay back and out of the way.

Great video. I love the cataloochee valley. I’ve always wanted to do that loop. That’s for inspiring me to hit it

[@goldenblazehikes]

Thanks Josh. A couple of campsites along this route too if wanting to do an overnighter.

[@billandsheilahike7959]

Do you need permits in this area for campsites

[@goldenblazehikes]

Hey Bill & Sheila. In the Great Smokies you need a permit for all campsites. Reservations can be made online.

[@billandsheilahike7959]

@@goldenblazehikes I thought that was the case but I appreciate your co firming that for me.
