Gregory Ridge, Gregory Bald Trails - Smoky Mountains Hike

Sorry for the shaky video on this one... Didn't realize my stabilization was turned off... This hike started at Gregory Ridge and went up to Gregory Bald trail. I then hiked over to the Appalachian Trail and back and then over to Gregory Bald. I left Gregory Bald and finished the trail at the Gregory Bald trail head off of Parson Branch Road. Then I had a 3.5 mile road walk down Parson Branch Road to get back to the Gregory Ridge trail head and my vehicle. This is a beautiful hike and if you plan to hike to Gregory Bald, I would recommend starting on Gregory Ridge rather than Gregory Bald trail. You will avoid the Parson Branch road issues and it is a more scenic hike! Gregory Bald is beautiful in June when the Azaleas are blooming! The views from Gregory Bald are some of the best in the Smokies!! In total I hiked 17.5 miles and about 14 miles of that was on trail. A wonderful day in the Smokies!
