- Hike from Garenflo Gap to cave on AT. Return the same way.
Our original plans to hike in the Smokies today weren't working out, so we decided to do trail maintenance. I think this is our 11th trip this year. Bluff Mountain had a dusting of snow at the bottom, with more on the top. I worked on lopping and clearing blow downs. I spent 2 hours just clearing the first mile! Glen hiked on ahead with a saw and went up to the summit, so he could get a good picture of what needed to be done. We had a lot of blow downs since we last came but were able to clear most of them.
