    1 | Mountains-to-Sea Trail Last Updated 11/12/2018 View from the Mountains-to-Sea Trail at Clingmans Dome Photo by Danny Bernstein Peak to Peak—MST Segment 1 Clingmans Dome to Waterrock Knob By Jim Grode The 46.8-mile-long Segment 1 of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail (MST) be- gins in Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP), straddling Ten- nessee and North Carolina. Newfound Gap Road (US 441), which travels north from Cherokee, North Carolina, to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, forms the backbone of the park and climbs to over 5,000 feet at Newfound Gap. If national parks have specialties, the Smokies is known as a hiker’s park. The scenery is diverse: mountain views, old-growth trees, waterfalls, streams, and more shades of green than a paint chart. Mile for mile, you’ll Segment 1 | 2 find hiking in the park easier than in the neighboring national forests. Even though there are no blazes on Smokies trails, they are so well marked at every intersection that you can follow them with confidence. (Still, stop at a Visitor Center and pick up a Great Smoky Mountains Trail Map for $1.00.) The Smokies may be the most visited national park in the country but only the roads and parking lots are congested. With over 800 miles of trails, even popular trails are not very busy. The trails in the Smokies are well maintained and well marked. Hikers will appreciate that they’re in a na- tional park. The Smokies, in a temperate rainforest, have a great variety of wildflowers, from the first bloodroot in March to the last asters in Octo- ber, as well as more tree species than all of Europe.

  • The Balsams—MST Segment 2
    1 | Mountains-to-Sea Trail Last Updated 8/5/2019 Rays and ridges from Waterrock Knob Photo by Robert Stephens The Balsams—MST Segment 2 WATERROCK KNOB TO PISGAH INN By Jim Grode This 63-mile segment, located in one of the most biodiverse areas of the world, showcases that diversity. Nearly all the major plant communities of the southern Appalachians are represented, from spruce-fir forests typically found in Canada to rich cove forests, and from rhododendron thickets to heath balds—and even a little of the rare spray cliff commu- nity. Around every corner is a view greater than the one before it. And the myriad streams and waterfalls provide delightful coolness even on the hottest summer day. Segment 2 | 2 This segment is also one of the least accessible parts of the MST— although it generally parallels the Blue Ridge Parkway (BRP). Segment 2 crosses a paved road only 7 times in the 54 miles between the US 74 crossing (Eastbound (EB) Mile 9.4, Westbound (WB) Mile 54.2) and its eastern end. The segment is also rugged: elevations range from over 5,800 feet to less than 3,500 feet in less than 10 miles, and there is almost 25,000 feet of climbing and descending over the entire length of the segment. The trail is often rocky, muddy, or indistinct, making travel sometimes difficult. Almost all of Segment 2 is on federally owned land, encompassing the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests and the BRP. As a result, there is virtually no development and no opportunity for resupply on the segment.
