We are planning a section hike from the Grayson Highlands area to Damascus over Memorial Day weekend. I have heard this is a great section and we want to take our time and enjoy it.
Our question is are there side trips/trails that should be explored around Grayson Highlands? We are very flexible in regards to how many AT trail miles we complete on this trip. We are planning on hiking Friday through Monday but can add Tuesday if necessary. In general we will leave our car in Damascus, catch a shuttle north and hike SOBO back into town.
Right now the plan is to be dropped off at Grayson Highland State Park on Friday morning. Hike around the park on Friday ending at Wise Shelter Friday night. From Wise take the next three days to hike back to Damascus. Our average miles per day are 10-12 miles.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
