It starts at Clingman's Dome, on the North Carolina / Tennessee state border, then goes 1175 miles through North Carolina, and finally ends at Jockey's Ridge, Atlantic Ocean. It's a very diverse thru-hike, that starts at the Great Smokey Mountains in the Eastern United States and ends at the Ocean.
