I just hiked the approach trail today and it took a little longer than I expected, there are lots of downed trees which makes for several mini detours! If you are heading out, I just wanted to give you a heads up :) Watch out of all those sticks and branches that try to snag your legs, poles and pants, much worse than normal! :rolleyes: I had a few "oh shi...." moments today.
Other than that, it was a beautiful day!
Thanks for the heads up. I will be doing the Approach Trail March 2

Its not that bad. I hiked it a little over a week ago and there was nothing that took you more than 5 feet off the trail.
what? u mean we have to hike it? they haven't installed the escalators yet? is the hot tub working up at Springer Shelter? :)

I just wanted to share what I saw :rolleyes: There must have been some serious storms up there in the past few weeks.

Ain't that the truth (contradictions). I was in the Rich Mountain WIlderness this past weekend and I probably took 50 detours in a total of about 6 miles of hiking.. it was crazy.. it's nice to see it closer to it's natural state though..
