I'm looking at a fall section hike from Lakeview Drive (the tunnel) SOBO to Fontana, so would like to park at Fontana and shuttle around to Lakeview Drive. I will have the boy with me so it will just be us two. We are loving the Smokies as this spring we did Gregory Bald from Twenty Mile up Wolf Ridge Trail (Thanks SGT for the info).
Any shuttle recommendation is much appreciated.
Next up Bears and Campsite 86 and 88:
Current possible plan SOBO:
Lakeview Drive to Campsite 98 Chambers Creek
9.7
Campsite 98 Cambers Creek to Campsite 88 Possum Hollow
16.2
88 to Lakeshore Drive
3.8
Lakeshore to Fontanna
5.2
Total
34.9
Or, similar to this, but stay at Campsite 86. Note: 88 to Fontana will be done in one day. I noticed that the GSMNP has 88 and 86 closed down due to bear activity. You think that side of the park will calm down by Fall?

Thanks a ton for any thoughts and details.
