Fuck dude take me with. But yeah pics would be nice. I'm trying to convince myself it's doable and I'll have enough light in the 11-12 hours I figure it'll take me, so long as I start at 6am

Im in Huntsville, AL, and I did that hike earlier this year (April I think?). Beware about halfway in the trail turns into a shitfest of giant broken rocks that you have to tip toe across. It's manageable, obviously, but extremely slippery due to high humidity from the river. Also the trail kind of disappears while you're on the rocks, turns out you just need to walk about 50m off the "trail" down a hill through a jungle to find the actual trail that is unmarked.

Overall great trail

Any good (free) source for a gpx/kml? I'd feel better about not fucking up

I don't know of any, I just used the map on alltrails.com. Just know that cell service is very bad so load the map on the website, or app, before you go so you can open it up

Is this hike hard? I see some reviews saying it's quite hard but distance and elevation gain don't look too bad (even on shitty surface).

I haven't done it yet, just planning, trying to psych myself up. The trouble with not having a big enough pack is that I can't bring gear for overnights, so I'm limited in the distance I can do, and trying to cram 10+ miles into a single daylight hike sucks when you also gotta drive 90min to the trailhead.

But finding good steep ascents in the smokies is hard. I want something that's more than 3000 feet high.

Haven't grabbed a bigger pack yet cause I might move away from all the good hills/mountains
