Try Elkmont to Double Springs Gap via Goshen Prong Trail, south on the AT to
Miry Ridge Trail then back to Elkmont via Miry Ridge. A little over 20 miles
but the ascent from Rock Creek Camp to the AT will leave you with just
enough energy to stumble to Double Springs Shelter, about 4 1/2 miles. If
you do have enough energy after the 4,000 foot climb, you can always jaunt
over to Clingman's and back!

Miry Ridge is one of the most startlingly beautiful trails I have ever seen.
It is so little used that it is almost overgrown in places, in others, it
looks like something straight from Middle Earth.
