Indlela iphawulwe ecaleni kwendlela enemigca emhlophe yepeyinti, ibakhokele kwindlela enqumleza ngaphezu kwe250 yeekhabhathi zabahambi kunye neenkampu ezihamba kuyo. Iindawo zokuhlala zihlala zahlulwe luhambo losuku okanye ngaphantsi, amaxesha amaninzi kufutshane nomthombo wamanzi (onokuthi wome) nakwindlu yangasese.
Eyona ndawo iphakamileyo kwindlela yiClingmans kwii-6643 iinyawo, kwaye elona zantsi liseMfuleni i-Hudson.

Indlela iwela iindlela ezininzi, inika ithuba elihle kubakhweli beentaba zokukhwela ihike ukuya edolophini ngokutya kunye nezinye izinto ukongeza kwiihotele kunye neendawo zokuhlala.
Phakathi kwezona zixeko zaziwayo kule ndlela ziindawo ezishushu ezitshisayo, emantla Carolina, Erwin, Tennessee, eDamasko, eVirginia; Isikhephe iHarpers, eNtshona Virginia; UDuncannon, ePennsylvania, ePort Clinton, ePennsylvania, eHanover, eNew Hampshire naseMonson, eMaine.
