Hello, I'm in Greensboro NC recovering from an injury and need to get back to Clingman's Dome hopefully this weekend 16 April 16. I would like a ride from Cherokee, Gatlinburg, Knoxville or even here in Greensboro NC. I can pay cash but I will take any advice on the best way to get back to the trail. Thanks!

Greyhound it from Gboro to Asheville. Then you can get a shuttle to the Smokies.

Thank you. I got a ride to Cherokee and now need one from there up to Clingman's Dome. I'm trying to research shuttles that are located in and around Cherokee. Thanks again for the advice .

if you are in cherokee----and stand out near the entrance to the Park----or at the exit of the visitors center----or near smokemont campground-----------that is an easy (at least it was for me a couple of times) hitch...

just have patience and stick out your thumb and someone will give you a ride....

or if you dont have patience, i believe there is a taxi service in cherokee that would do it.............but it would cost ya some...


personally, i would try the hitch....
