Hiya! I am looing into section hiking the first week of July with my son who will be 14 at the time. We are looking at Grayson highlands to Damascus. Planning on parking the car at Damascus and looking for a shuttle to take us north and we will hike south. Any suggestions for a shuttle? The one I found seemed very expensive. we are experienced hikers and I have hiked several sections. This will be his first section hike. We climbed up Max patch while on travel but no packs.

Lone Wolf shuttled my party for the same plan. Can't remember the exact amount, but he threw in some invaluable trail knowledge for no charge. If I needed another one up there, I would call him again. LOL.

I have used Sun Dog Outfitters in Damascus. I thought their price was fair.

Lone Wolf is the man to use.
