Maddron Bald is a tough trail.  Uphill the whole way but totally worth it for the view.  Albright Grove didn't really have anything significant to it, nothing exciting.  But the 360 degree view on Maddron is amazing!

This was a beautiful and adventurous hike with a great group of ladies.  It's a fairly easy hike.  Mostly downhill.  Great views along the way.

The hardest part is the distance and the climb up Clingman's Dome trail to the AT.

Goshen is a little overgrown but I think that just makes it more of an adventure :)
