A Few Miles to go

Left Gatlinburg Monday morning. This sign was at the beginning of the trail. Headed for Peck's Corner Shelter mile 217.2. The weather has warmed considerably, even at the higher elevations. Most of the trail is at six thousand feet so there can be a large temperature swing from the lower elevation to the trail. Still some ice on the trail in the shade. Nothing like I experienced at Clingman's Dome.
