Trail Fest

[SmokeEater]

I will be ending my section hike this year in hot springs. The same time trail fest is going on. Not a lot of info out there that I can find on Trail Fest. What goes on? Where to stay overnight? TY

I sent you a PM regarding your hike.

I did check out the web site but i just wanted to get input from us hikers on hiker friendly motels and shuttles. Also a good place to leave my car.

the whole town, that I have seen, is trail friendly. As far as leaving your car and shuttles contact Bluff Mtn Outfitters--828-622-7162.

I have been there for TrailFest and it was a pretty good time. Definitely not as big a celebration as Trail Days or even Hiker fools Bash, but it's fun. Happy Hiking!

Enjoy the Hike! it sounds like a Great time to Hike into Hot Springs! I think I'm going to rethink my sections for this year & end them all at festivals. That's a pretty cool benefit of Section hiking : o )
