Get on Trail w/ Friends & MIssy Super Fall series 2014

Great end of the fall series called Get on Trail with Friends and MIssy     Its the 16 year for our series and its so fun to see folks getting fit, staying fit while benefitting the Great Smoky Mountain National Park thru Friends of the Smokies.    We were blessed with 5 great Wednesday hikes and only the last one had a little rain but we lucked out with dry weather once we got on the trail.

 The hikes we did were Andrews Bald w/ side trail to Boiler, then Grotto Falls up to Brushy Mountain, next Abrams Falls to Hatcher Mnt , then Elkmont to Tremont thanks to Rocky Top Tours, lastly AT from Fontana Dam to Shuck Stack Tower   The five hikes helped bring in close to 5,000 for Friends of the smokies thru our hikes and these sponsors
