Currently, the National Park Service is advising MST hikers to NOT hike along the Parkway between the Oconaluftee River To Balsam Gap due to possible dangers of walking through the Parkway tunnels. FMST has created a re-route via road walk posted for this situation. This re-route will take hikers through towns Cherokee, Dillsboro, and Sylva. Then re-joins the trail at Balsam Gap near Waynesville. | |||
