bit.ly/southern400 Similar to the Southern Appalachian Loop Trail (SALT - see below links), but this is 50 miles longer and allows hikers to complete the Bartram, Foothills and Art Loeb Trails where the SALT only uses portions of each. This has probably already been done, but I couldn't find any info so I named it the Southern 400. Distance 397.77mi Elevation Range 1,071' (around MM 372) to 6,170' (Black Balsam Knob on the Art Loeb Trail) Elevation Gain & Loss +74,078' -74,078' Reservation are required for campsites in GSMNP. WARNING: Info may be out of date or closures/restrictions may exist. Plan accordingly.
