Ok last question. What do you think is a better trail in terms of views and overall quality...taking the AT from Scales to Rhododendron Gap or taking the Crest Trail to Rhododendron Gap?
I know...

Yeah once I got the trail map out it was pretty easy to find. We've got a Honda CRV and Subaru Forester so we should be good. Thanks for the help!
I'm not sure I know what you are referring to. Yes we will be coming from Damascus. Are you referring to another way to get to Grindstone other than 58/603?
Perfect, thank you!
The Mt. Rogers TH near the Grindstone campground...but really any TH or parking lot. We were just wondering if it's legal to sleep in your car prehike/trip.
I posted this in the Grayson Highlands section but I don't think that gets a lot of traffic so I'm posting here as well.
My friend and I will be hiking around Mt. Rogers this weekend, but we will...
My friend and I will be hiking around Mt. Rogers this weekend, but we will arrive quite late (probably midnight or so) and thus the Grindstone campround is not an option because they say they close...
Maybe just to add to this thread....What kind of temps can I expect? I will be heading there not next week but the week after.
I'll be near Sonora Pass for a couple days during the first week of July and I was wondering if the PCT section either north or south of the pass is worth day hiking?? Is that an interesting section...
I'd love to! But we only have time for a weekend trip.
Doesn't have to be the AT. Thanks, I'll check into it.
I'm basing my information off the parks website which says only 8 inches of snow on Mt. Leconte right now. Also the winter caretaker of the lodge has an online blog and he says most of the snow is...
I need some help. My friend and I were all set to go to the Smokies this weekend to play in all the snow they had down there. We bought snow shoes and everything. Well now all the snow they had...
Yes actual snow shoes. Although we have strap on 4 point crampons as well that we used last year to go up Leconte on Alum Cave trail. Most of it was ice. Once we got up to the top we needed snow...
I actually got my information from "highonleconte". Myself and another friend were hoping to be the first to cross the Boulevard this winter, but it was recently reported on that website that it was...
Planning on crossing the Boulevard to Leconte in a couple weeks. I've heard that the trail has not been traveled on since November and that there was a rock slide a few weeks ago taking out part of...
Thinking of taking the Eagle Creek trail down from the AT or up to as part of a loop. Of the 3 campsites: 89, 96, and 97, is one better or worse than the others? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Matt
Your permit allows you to stay in the backpackers campground 1 day before your trip 8/3. For 8/2 I would just stay in Merced and take the YARTS bus in the morning. You won't find a campsite in the...
I know I know. July 4th is not best weekend to try to get permits haha. But this is my only week of vacation the entire year and I have to take it this week so it is what it is. I will try and get...
Yeah this is most likely what I'll try.
Ok so about 6 months ago I made reservations to hike from Happy Isles to Red Meadows starting on July 4th. Well my trip has hit a few bumps and I will no longer be able to do this. But I am still...
Is it possible to get same day first come-first served permits for backpacking in Yosemite or are they always issued for the next day?

I'm looking to get in touch with some people in Kentucky or other nearby states that are interested in climbing a peak like Mt. Rainier. I don't care if you've never done it before or are an expert....
OK I just looked on the site and they are Not closed. They just have bear warnings.
Why are all those shelters closed all of a sudden? That's crazy.
