Hey!
I am planning an 18 mile, weekend backpack trip in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I've hiked there before (Mt. Sterling), but as a ground dweller. I was hoping to see if anyone has hammocked there with no problem. I'll be doing back country hiking, but Friday night I'll get there around 8pm and we are going to stay in a shelter before beginning our trip Sat. morning. From what I remmeber, the shelters were fenced in to keep bears out. I'm worried I won't be allowed to hang for safety reasons (bears). Anyone have any experience or advice before I call the ranger at Sugarland? Thanks in advance!
