Looking for advice on which feeder trail to use. Joining the AT in GSMNP
from Deep Creek entrance via either
a) Noland Divide Trail
or
b)Deep Creek/Pole Road Creek/Noland Divide Trail

Any suggestions/opinions on which route is better? Contour lines look like Noland Divide trail is pretty steep. Anyone with experience on that trail?
Thanks
Mike
