Speaking of training, my New Year's resolution was to train for another GMNP backpacking trip for sometime this summer. So far, so good. Having one of these trips planned is a better motivator to stay in shape than the PFTs (physical fitness tests) were when I was in the Navy.

I'd like to make a trip out there sometime to see the Fall colors, but I really enjoy the solitude of the backcountry during the summer. I understand it can be fairly busy out there when the maples are turning. Have any of you been into the GMNP backcountry during the Fall? If so, how crowded was it?
