Entire GSMNP trail map on google earth?

Just like the title says, does anyone know where I can get an overlay of all the trails in the park for google earth? That would be so cool.

I have Trails Illustrated by NGO specifically for GSMNP. All in all it's worth the $15. It's like the GSMNP map but digital and you can fly through in 3-D, highlight your trials and pinpoint trails with mileage info.

That would be cool. Went to the summit of LeConte today. 15 miler all together. Keep me posted if you find this question.

If you can deal with shapefiles (not directly openable in GE), you can download one here. Not sure about the accuracy or completeness, but it seems to match the trails visible in aerial photos fairly well.

My Google Earth already has all the trails in it.
Make sure 'Sidebar' is visible in the 'View' menu. Then under the 'Layers' tab, look under the 'More' / 'Parks/Recreations Areas' / 'US National Parks' / 'Trails' and make sure it is checked. Not all locations are 'up-to-date' for any recent changes (such as relocating camp site #21 a few years ago).

There is also lots of waypoints and other information at http://web.eecs.utk.edu/~dunigan/gsmnp/ (specifically look for Google Earth KML file gsmnp.kmz for GSMNP landforms or camp.kmz campsites or trails.kmz trails)
