We'll hike the entire Little River Trail, from the trailhead in Elkmont to its end at Campsite #30, in a wide valley where more than a dozen creeks flow into the Little River (actually not so little). On our way we'll pass junctions with 4 trails: Cucumber Gap (mile 2.3), Huskey Gap (mile 2.8), Goshen Prong (mile 3.6), and Rough Creek (mile 4.5, after Campsite #24). Elevation gain ~1,200 feet in 6.1 miles. Three creek crossings in the last half-mile can be demanding in high water. After lunch, return the same way. 

Total 12.2 miles. Rated Difficult for distance.

For carpooling, meet at Kroger, 244 S. Hall Rd., Alcoa (park at the side of the building near the SE corner), in time to leave at 7 am. Drive 66 miles RT [@ 7¢ / mile = $4.62].

Meet at the trailhead ready to hike at 8:30 AM.
