Question: The Mountains-to-Sea Trail (MST) is a long-distance trail, for hiking and backpacking, that runs across North Carolina from the Great Smoky Mountains to the Outer Banks, the trail's western endpoint is at Clingman's Dome, where it connects to the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, generally known as the Appalachian Trail or simply the A.T., is a marked hiking trail in which location?
Context: The Lower Mount Cammerer Trail is an American hiking trail, in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park of Cocke County, Tennessee.  The trail ascends Mount Cammerer (elev.  4928 ft ; 1,502 m), leading (via a connection with the Appalachian Trail) to a small, untraditional firetower at the summit, from which panoramic views of Cocke County, the main range of the Great Smoky Mountains, and the dominating presence of Mount Guyot are all prominent. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a United States National Park located in a region of the Appalachian Mountains referred to as the Great Smoky Mountains, in a portion of east-central Tennessee and southwest North Carolina.  With over 150 hiking trails extending for more than 850 mi , within its boundaries, including a seventy-mile segment of the Appalachian Trail, hiking is the most popular activity in the national park . Wesser Bald is a summit located in Macon County, North Carolina near the community of Wesser.  A wooden fire tower at the summit provides hikers with unimpeded views of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and also the Nantahala Mountains.  The Appalachian Trail traverses the summit from roughly north to south with the Nantahala Outdoor Center lying to the north within the Nantahala Gorge and Tellico gap just to the south.  Tellico gap has unimproved road access.  The climb from Tellico Gap takes an average of 20 minutes.  Also, a third route, the blue trail, departs from the end of Wesser Creek Road and follows Wesser Creek up to a point just south of the summit to a fork with the Appalachian Trail.  The summit is located at 4627 ft .  and is within Nantahala National Forest.  A map detailing the highway routes to access Tellico Gap is available at the Nantahala Outdoor Center.  Observable landforms include Wayah Bald, the Nantahala Gorge, and Clingmans Dome among others.  The Wesser Fire Tower provides unparalleled 360 degree views of the Smokies in a short 1.5 mile hike from Tellico Gap on the Appalachian Trail, with an elevation gain of about 767 feet.  The Fire Tower was originally reported as destroyed during the forest fires which ravaged the Nantahala Forest in November, 2016 but it was later learned that it survived. The Mountains-to-Sea Trail (MST) is a long-distance trail, for hiking and backpacking, that runs across North Carolina from the Great Smoky Mountains to the Outer Banks.  The trail's western endpoint is at Clingman's Dome, where it connects to the Appalachian Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  Its eastern endpoint is in Jockey's Ridge State Park on the tallest sand dune on the east coast.  The trail is envisioned as a scenic backbone of an interconnected trail system spanning the state.  As such, the trail's route attempts to connect as many trail systems and natural scenic areas as practicable.  A little over half of the trail is complete in multiple, disconnected segments across the state. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail, generally known as the Appalachian Trail or simply the A.T., is a marked hiking trail in the Eastern United States extending between Springer Mountain in Georgia and Mount Katahdin in Maine.  The trail is about 2,200 miles (3,500 km) long, though the exact length changes over time as parts are modified or rerouted.  The Appalachian Trail Conservancy claims that the Appalachian Trail is the longest hiking-only trail in the world.  More than 2 million people are said to do at least one day-hike on the trail each year. The Florida Trail is one of eleven National Scenic Trails in the United States.  It currently runs 1000 mi , with 300 mi planned, from Big Cypress National Preserve (between Miami and Naples, Florida along the Tamiami Trail) to Fort Pickens at Gulf Islands National Seashore, Pensacola Beach.  Also known as the Florida National Scenic Trail (which applies only to its federally certified segments), the Florida Trail provides permanent non-motorized recreation opportunity for hiking and other compatible activities and is within an hour of most Floridians.  The Florida National Scenic Trail is designated as a National Scenic Trail by the National Trails System Act of 1968 (Public Law 90-543). Thru-hiking, or through-hiking, is hiking a long-distance trail end-to-end within one hiking season.  In United States, the term is most commonly associated with the Appalachian Trail (AT), the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), and the Continental Divide Trail (CDT), but also refers to other end-to-end hikes.  Other examples include the Te Araroa Trail in New Zealand, the Camino de Santiago in Spain, the Via Francigena in France and Italy, the Lycian Way in Turkey, the Israel National Trail, and the Great Divide Trail (GDT) in Canada.  Thru-hiking is also called "end-to-end hiking" or "end-to-ending" on some trails, like Vermont's Long Trail or New York's Long Path and Northville–Placid Trail.  Section hiking, on the other hand, refers to hiking a trail one section at a time, without continuity and not necessarily in sequence with the other sections. The Meigs Mountain Trail is an American hiking trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park of Sevier County, Tennessee.  The trail traverses the northern slopes of Meigs Mountain in the northwest section of the park, connecting Jakes Creek in the Elkmont area with Lumber Ridge in the Tremont area.  The Meigs Mountain Trail, when joined with the 4.1 mi Lumber Ridge Trail and the first 0.4 mi of the Jakes Creek Trail, is part of a 10.5 mi continuous path connecting the Appalachian Club section of Elkmont with the Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont.  In the early 20th century, the logging communities that formed at Elkmont and Tremont branched out across the relatively broad northern slopes of Meigs Mountain.  Other than a crude mountain cemetery, the occasional detritus, and a few rock walls, however, very little remains of the mountain's former inhabitants. The Neuse River Trail is a 33 mi long paved greenway located in the Research Triangle region of North Carolina, running along the banks of the Neuse River from Falls Lake Dam to the town of Clayton.  The route passes through the jurisdictions of Raleigh, Wake Forest, Knightdale, and Clayton in Wake and Johnston counties.  The Neuse River Greenway trail is part of the Capital Area Greenway system as well as the Mountains-to-Sea Trail that crosses North Carolina from the Great Smoky Mountains to the Outer Banks.  Open to both cyclists and pedestrians, the Neuse River Trail is the longest greenway trail in North Carolina and the longest paved trail between northern Virginia and western Georgia. The Neusiok Trail is a 20.4 mi hiking trail located in the Croatan National Forest in Carteret County, North Carolina.  The trail traverses the forest from a sandy beach on the Neuse River to a salt marsh on the Newport River, and along the way, it crosses cypress swamps, hardwood ridges, longleaf-pine savannah and pocosin—shrubby bogs The entire Neusiok is part of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail (MST) which spans North Carolina, and the MST in the Croatan is a designated National Recreation Trail.
