    I haven't hiked it lately but with all the days of rain we've had in the area lately, I wouldn't worry too much about water sources.

    I did it when I was in my 20s and in so-so shape and had no problem. Now. in my 30s, I'd probably find a better alternative.

    Burningtown Gap is also another option - 1.2 miles before Cold Springs. It depends upon how in shape you are for hiking to plan mileage. That trip will be much harder than Springer to Unicoi Gap....
