As others have said, about as easy as they come...
Have camped at Elkmont and hiked up there to fish and back easily covering 10+ miles all without being completely worn out at the end of the day. Of course, that is without a pack but it is very easy going and is basically an old road. Staying at #24, #30 or even #23 are all going to put you in some prime fishing locations. If you manage to swing #24, you also have the option of walking back down river as well and would have another mile or two of good water in addition to everything above #24. I think I've mentioned that to you before though...
