I'm headed down to hike a section of the AT in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park in about a week. I'll be starting on Alum Cave Trail, hitting the Mt Leconte summit, down to the AT and then staying on it until I get to the Cades Cove area. (5-6 days total)I have a shuttle service reserved and I'm going to stay in the shelters along the way (already reserved). I'll get a backcountry pass once I'm there.
Anyone done this section?
Bear advice?
Elevation difficulties?
Other advice?
Muchas Gracias!!
Wade

sounds fun, going alone? Shouldn't have any elevation problems, but snow storms aren't that uncommon in April and May, hopefully you will have good weather.
