Unicoi Gap to Andrews Cove via Cheese Factory

Distance
6.7 mi
Climbing
1,450 ft
Difficulty
Moderate to Difficult
Type
One Way

Turned out to be a nice day and a nice hike on our second one-way hike. The trail was in good condition considering its heavy use. Rocky and a steady incline on the first leg on the AT. The rest of the hike was not very strenuous with only a 0.8 mile stretch of incline from Indian Grave Gap to the Cheese Factory. Ray's suggestion to take the Rocky Mountain Trail instead of the AT seems to have been a good choice. Not a lot of wild flowers nor views today. I would rate the sum of the trails we took to be moderate to difficult. My Garmin showed the distance to be 7.5 miles rather than 6.7 miles.
