We hiked the Little River Trail from Elkmont to the Cucumber Gap Trail junction again in October 2016. I've written about two previous hikes on this trail. The first was in March 2014 and can be found here. The second was a couple of years later in March 2016 where we continued on up the Little River Trail to the Goshen Prong Trail junction. A blog post of the second hike, including a topographic map and elevation profile, can be found here.
