Ice Water Springs is about 3-4 miles from New Found Gap. Next is Pecks Corner 7 miles from Ice Water, than Tri Corner Knob 5 miles from Pecks Corner, Cosby Knob is next 8 miles from Tri Corner. 7 miles to Davenport Gap Shelter. 1 mile to Northen Boundary of park. Call the Back Country office of the Smoky's for reservations 865-436-1231. another 3-4 miles to Standing Bear Hostel on the North side of I-40 East at exit 451 the last TN exit going toward NC.
Enjoy your hike.

Get Curtis from Standing Bear Hostel to shuttle you to Newfound Gap and hike back to your car at either Davenport Gap or across I40 to Standing Bear

The trail was here before we arrived, and it will still be here when we are gone...enjoy it now, and preserve it for others that come after us
Davenport Gap is the first road crossing going NOBO. Then about another 1 1/2 mile to I-40.
