Benton MacKaye Thru-Hike Ep. 10: Backpacking in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park

On April 9, 2016, I began my thru-hike of the Benton MacKaye Trail at Springer Mountain, Georgia. This is my tenth report.

Features: the Appalachian Trail, aggressive wild boars, and the results of a forest fire.

I also tell the story of the "Road to Nowhere," the tunnel that ends with a dead end in the southern part of the Smokies. The story begins at about 7:05.

The trail lore presented in the video is from two books: Hiking the Great Smoky Mountains National Park by Kevin Adams, and Hiking Trails of the Smokies by the Great Smoky Mountains Association.

As always, thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate the comments and your kind words motivate me as I continue my hike.

Those interested in the BMT should become members of the Benton MacKaye Trail Association--I am!
