    Not exactly off-trail, but I would definitely set out a nice chunk of time to enjoy the view from Big Cedar Mt. Absolutely majestic. Only suffers in comparison to the NH and ME. I think because it is the first "big" view on the trail it tends to get forgotten.

    Well, you could build one in the parking lot flower beds but I don't think they'd appreciate it.

    Don't miss the climb out of Stecoah Gap and the next one just north of that.

    If you are into large water falls then start on the approach trail to see Amicalola Falls.

    I'm guessing that the OP has already done his hike (posted Sept. of '10), but since it's back up, I'll say that I had a nice stay just north of Neel Gap at a nice flat spot in a high gap (forgot the name). The site's suitable for quite a few campers if money's too tight to stay at the outfitters.

    That's pretty funny.

    You could build it next to the ripped up backpack on the porch that was there in the fall, to illustrate the hungry bears around.

    You might want to start a new thread regarding your hike. This might get buried when folks notice the the OP's post is waaaaaaay old.

    There is a place out back where they have been known to get a fire going and sometimes a drum circle.

    Blood Mountain, suprised that hasn't made the list although it is not a side trip. Cow Rock is the flat rocker Tinker is talking about (I think). A good side trip if you don't mind a bit of a bushwhack is to drop down to Raven Cliff Falls. Drop down out of Whitly Gap (?) and pick up the Dodd Creek Trail. This brings you in at the top of the falls and it is not a bad hike.
