==================================
I've done it twice. Once to Knoxville and once to the Tri-Cities (Kingsport/Johnson City). If you're renting a car it probably doesn't matter and Knoxville is an easy shot on the interstate. If you can arrange for a shuttle I'd say shoot for the Tri-Cities airport.

If you can get a connecting flight from where your at,Tri Cities would be the closest airport.Approx.25 miles from Damascus

I've been looking at this for a hike next June and am considering Tri-Cities also. It's about 25 miles south on I-81.

We live in the Tri-Cities area and would be happy to shuttle from TRI to Damascus. It is about a 45 minute drive. PM if you need to talk details.
