    I did this section two years ago (Approach trail to Clingman's). Started out with a partner, but she had knee issues and got off the trail about 30 miles in... I had met several people and continued traveling on... while I didn't hike during the day with people, we met up every evening. You will too!

    I am planning on a Sept 11 start from Clingmans Dome to Springer. Trying to finish off the Southern section I haven't been on before.

    This southern stretch of trail is nice because every 2 days you have a bed option, a resupply option, a town etc.

    Fontana - 2 days
    NOC - 2 days
    Franklin - 2 days

    Hurricane Florence disrupted my hiking times, but, have rescheduled to start at Winding Stair Gap to Springer starting Oct 24th if anyone is interested.
