- Route: Cades Cove entrance to Crooked Arm Ridge Trail (2.2), Crooked Arm Ridge to Indian Grave Gap Trail (1.8), set up camp at Campsite 5, broke camp, and took Rich Mtn Trail to park boundary (2.3), Rich Mtn Road back into Cades Cove (approx. 6.5 miles), Cades Cove Loop Rd to Car (approx. 3.5 miles).
- Total Mileage: approx. 16.3
- Notes: Intended 4 miles in, 4 miles out overnight to Campsite 5. We were at the campsite before noon, got bored, and decided to go on to the Rich Mountain Shelter that, unbeknownest to us, has been demolished a few years previous. Several hours and 15 miles later, we ended up back at the car.
