Thanks Tennessee Viking. Good to know. So if the Byron Reese is full and we end up parking at Vogel. Do you know the trail situation from Vogel to get back to Neels?
For my upcoming trip, I'd like to park at Byron Reese. When we finish our hike at Neels Gap I assume we can just quickly walk the road back to BR? If BR is full I hear we can park down at Vogel. ...
I'm doing N to S and I'm trying to find out information about the waysides and restaurants. Are these all right off of the A.T. Or do I need to hit side trails to hit any of these?
So my buddy who is driving to meet us there wants to bring his dog. Personally I'm not sure about taking a dog backpacking. I had a dog rush me and bite me on the AT in Virginia so maybe I'm a...
Awesome Thank you. Do you happen to know how the water sources are in this section? The guide book shows a decent amount of water, but I wasn't sure how well it is flowing this year.
Thank you soooo much for the shuttle info. This information is invaluable to me. And yes we might have to extend the trip a day or two so that input is helpful as well.
Thanks for the great input. Yes some shuttle contacts would be great.
Great! Thank you all for the input. I am almost sold on Rockfish Gap south to Buena Vista or vice versa. I always wanted to do the priest anyhow. If I change my flight into Charlottesville, I...
Hi there. Let me first say that if nothing changes we are going to go from Front Royal to Rockfish Gap in 7 days. This is probably my eighth or ninth section hike. I'm coming from Florida just as...
Forgot to mention that. I had verizon and was able to call and text from Hawk Mtn Shelter. My nephew had At&t and only had service near Woody Gap. I'm glad you got to see a bear. We did see a...
Bugs were a lot better than I anticipated. Hawk Mountain Shelter had a few bugs, but nothing like I've seen in the lower elevations of the smokeys. I was expecting swarming gnats, the kind where...
You were spot on about the water. Justis creek was flowing great. The stream at hawk mtn was not bad either. But nothing in between those two spots.
So my nephew and I completed this section over the weekend. Wes the shuttle driver was very nice and well informed driver. We set off from Springer Gap and did the obligatory springer mountain walk...
And that cemetery sounds neat. I'll definitely check that out. Ty for the tips.
If I have verizon will I have cell coverage at Woody Gap?
Interesting about the views. Would I be better off doing the approach trail and looping back around? Is that more scenic than the section of AT that I've chosen? Nothing is set in stone yet.
Hello there. So I'm planning to do a quick 3 day 2 night hike. This is my plan:
Day 1: Park at Gooch Gap and get shuttled back to Springer Mountain. Hike to stover creek shelter.
Day 2: ...
I am not familiar with the area and didn't know about the mileage. Now that someone explained it, it's fine. Thanks.
Ok thanks for the input.
Hello. I contacted a person from the Georgia Appalachian Trail club for a shuttle ride for the above two gaps. Is it just me or does $65 sound a little high for 2 people to be shuttled one way?
Hello All. I'm a section hiker and about to do my seventh section later in October. Once again my group leaves the planning to me. Once again I'm seeking advice on this trip.
This is my rough...
Thank you all so much for taking the time to help me plan this.
Ok the map has arrived. So now I have a couple questions if you don't mind.
I'm still undecided on which entrance to start from either Swift Run Gap and finish at thornton or vice versa. But...
My first time hitch hiking was last October. We made the boneheaded mistake of leaving the end car keys in the beginning car. So we hitch hiked back to the beginning car. After walking five miles...
