GSMNP resupply

[justwalkin]

I would like to resupply along the trail. How and where is the best place to resupply before entering the GSMNP? Can I resupply while in the park or is it best to resupply before entering for the whole distance and if so, where is the best place? Thank you for your advice.

Resupply at Fontana Dam. The little store had quite a bit of stuff when I was there. Then you can go into Gatlinburg and then Hot Springs. Or you can do a mail drop to Fontana Dam. The post office is right next to the store.

You could also stay at The Hike Inn before entering the park and get a lift into Robbinsville to resupply and fill up on Chinese food.

That sounds good now. I'll bet it will sound even better when I get there! thanks.
