Saturday September 20th 8 AM Deep creek, Sunkota and everything in between

*** 15.6 miles, not a beginner hike***
Make sure that you can do 2 miles/hour. This is a long hike and there are many intersections in this part of the park. I tend to keep the 2-2.5 miles/hour pace.

*** Good news!!! 441 is open between Gatlinburg and Cherokee***

Come with the map and an understanding of where you are. I plan on being out by 5 PM more or less. You can cut 2.2 miles from mileage if you don't do the loop trail. I am not a paid guide and know your ability to hike.
Here is the trail profile from gaia

Trail topo to study carefully
