I am looking to do a 5 or 6 day hike in the Smokey's and if it was going to be the only time that I hike there, what are the best sights to see?? I would appreciate a list of the 'must see' sights or the best trails to hike while there.

My boys and I started doing a week long trip a few years ago and we have decided to go to a different location each year. Since we do not know if we will come back to a location a second time, we try to see as much as we can during the trip.

Although I think that when I turn 60 we are going to go back to the Linville Gorge. We had a fantastic trip and we would like to return and maybe complete the trip going in the opposite direction.
