Great Smoky Mountain National Park Trail Mileage Tracking
There are over 800 + miles of hiking trails in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and I have taken on the challenge of attempting to hike all of them to become a 900 miler, a traditional term for a hiker who has succeeded at this challenge. At one time there were 900 miles of trail but as some have become decommissioned and are no longer maintained the current total is now 801 miles. Many trails have to be repeated to access some of the interior trails and it is estimated that a hiker will probably log up to 1500 miles to complete the challenge. If interested, take a look at my progress on the spreadsheet below. Currently 79% completed!
