Bradley Fork – BMT Connector- Road to Towstring – Towstring – Bradley Smokemont Loop

Date: 5/29/16
Distance: 10 miles

Bill and I hiked these "garbage" trails to finish off the Memorial Day GSHAG Fall Campout.  These trails are nothing special, but they are on the map, so I must hike them!

We started at the back of the Smokemont Campground.  We took the short walk up Bradley Fork to the BMT connector.  We took the BMT connector back down to the Church at the front of Smokemont.

From there we walked down the road to the stables and then continued on the gravel road to the Tow String Trail.

We followed the Tow String trail back to Bradley Fork where we turned right and walked about 1.2 miles up to the Smokemont Loop Trail.

Smokemont Loop Trail was the pits.  The climb seemed horrific for a trail that doesn't really go anywhere.  I had already hiked the 2 previous days and spent the night it the campground for 2 nights.  I'm sure that contributed to the dislike.

The Loop Trail brought us back to the campground where we finished the hike.
