Planning for an upcoming backpacking trip to Smoky Mountains National Park.

Nothing like hanging out in the backyard on a beautiful Spring day with a map, a camera, and a mission to find a good Spring Smoky Mountains Backpacking route.

My plan is to do a 3 day, 2 night loop hike somewhere in the Smokies, hiking around 10 – 15 miles per day, depending what kind of trails and camping spots I come up with.

This will be my first backpacking trip to the Smokies, so I’m looking for feedback and ideas if you’ve got ’em!
