Hey all! Looking for some out and back recommendations for ~2.5 days of hiking the AT. Was thinking out and back due to parking car and doing this solo. Live in MidTN. Was thinking starting out at Harmon's Den, probably could plan to cover 12-15 mi a day. Really want some isolated trails but also mixed in great views/overlooks. Really appreciate any and all recommendations!

On February 27th, 28th and 29th I did a two night out and back trip from Wolf Pit Road trail-head to Table Rock mountain and back.

I stopped at a McDonald's to borrow some free Wifi to get a picture of a the trails and away I went. Going up Wolf Pit road in my 2002 Honda Accord was risky with the amount of ice and snow on the road. The final hill going down to the…
On February 25th and 26th I did a nice loop in the Smokies from Big Creek Ranger Station parking lot to Deep Gap along the AT south of Mt. Cammerer fire tower. There was about 6 to 8 inches of snow while going up. I stealth camped due to the amount of snow coming in and the next day went down the Big Creek trail. Overnight there was another 6 to 8 inches of snow and freezing fog.
