ive read all over that the GSMNP park is off limits to local day hikers and section hikers... so how are they determining WHO is a section hiker and who is a thru hiker??? we had planned to do some section hikes here in Tn now that its cooled off some but we cant enter through the park so what about going just a little south of GSMNP and getting on the trail there?? would that get us on the AT then we could go "thru" GSMNP and exit on the other side of the park close?? thanks
