| The route of this hike is shown on the map. This Hike #3 is approximately 14 miles long starting and ending on the south side of the Park (by Ed Shaw's Restaurant) near the intersection of Tennessee State Highway #22 and #142. It follows the general route of the SMT #1 Hike and directs the hiker to many points of interest not included in the SMT Hike #1. A pencil will be needed to write answers to questions asked. A canteen is recommended. A compass would prove helpful, but is not required. All Scouts should be in uniform. |
