Distance: 11.1
Today Gabe and I did a shuttle hike from Straight Fork Rd and Smokemont campground. Gabe needed Enloe Creek and the entire trail was new miles for me. The drive over was brutal as it was nearly 3 hours from the front door to the trail. The hike started with a 1500' climb up Hyatt Ridge. After loosing 900' the uphill climb continued to a final height of 4500 feet. After a rest at the top, we lost 2700 feet going down to the campground. Chasteen Creek Trail was very rock on the trip down, so it was a chore. The trails had plenty of wildflowers on this day.
