Hello! I would be interested in getting some suggestions on a 3 day 2 night back country backpacking route on October 11-13. I am either going solo, or with a couple friends. Probably average 10-15 miles per day, and looking for scenic views and summits/ridge lines and would prefer to stay away from crowds if possible. We will only have one car, so either a loop or shuttle.

I was thinking about doing a section of the AT through the park, but maybe there are some better options?

When I did the Roan High Knob section of the AT, there was a hostel that provided us with parking spot, camping spot on the first night after driving, breakfast the first morning, shuttle, showers when we got back, food truck to get a bite to eat. It was kind of a nice experience when traveling 10 hours to the trailhead, and I was wondering if there is anything like that in the GSMNP area too?

Thanks for any help!
