I know this will be hard to answer, but give it your best shot. When do the most thru-hikers cross Newfound Gap, and at what time of the day?
I ask because my wife wants to do a family mini-vacation to Gatlinburg March 29th thru April 2nd. She can't really hike(chronic bilateral hip dysplasia) and we'll have the 5 and 1 year olds with us, so I figure the LEAST I can do is to drive up to Clingman's Dome and stop at Newfound Gap and pass out cold drinks and stuff to thru-hikers for an hour or so and maybe give a few a ride into Gatlinburg on the way back.
Given the above info, when should I be at the Gap?
Thanks,
Bigben
