I called today to get my reservations for our section hike next month through the Smokies and was surprised by the amount of people using that section of the trail. We need to start at Clingmans in order to not miss a section. My reservation were for two people. Mt Collins was open Saturday but not Sunday. Ice Water Springs was full Monday but open Saturday and Sunday. All the rest of the shelters going North were open. The ranger wouldn't tell me how many were in each shelter, just if they had room for two. He did say we would have plenty of company along the trail that week. Any of you doing the section from Clingmans to Davenport Gap October 5th though 8th?
