We're considering places for a group hike with my coworkers.  They kept suggesting hikes in the Smokies, but there's so much more to TN than the Smokies.   So they asked me to find a hike on the plateau that's not too far from Ktown.  If we do DBT trail, then we'll probably hike 4 miles and then turn around and head back to the car.  How are the views on that section of the trail?  Even when in the summer when there are leaves on the trees?  What's the difficulty of that trail?  It sounds like there are some serious ascents/descents.  Other comments?

Thanks!
