    Default GSMNP Shuttle Service?

    My friend and i are planning a hike to GSMNP, we've got the route all picked out, but are only going to have one car down there. Loops in the park are pretty rare so we will need to be shuttled back to our car twice. Are there any services that can meet us at a trail head and take us back to our car, or from our car to a trail head, etc. We found one at www.awalkinthewoods.com that was perfect. But after i emailed them we found they are completely booked for the time we are going down. So are there any other services similar to this?

    Thanks

    Try Curtis at Standing Bear Farm & Hostel, The Grand Prix motel (Gatlinburg) and / or Nancy and Jeff at The Hike Inn.

    No set prices. You would have to talk to him. I just know that last time I saw him, he was charging lower than anyone I had heard of in the area by about $10
