To those who know SNP well:
I'm heading that way in April to do a couple of overnight loop hikes. One of the hikes I have planned is between South River and Lewis Mtn (AT, Pocosin, South River Falls trails). Any ideas for cool places to camp along the way? Are there any nice spots along the South River, or is it too steep? How about on Bald Face Mountain? Are there tentsites near Pocosin Cabin?
I hate camping in spots that aren't already established as campsites, so I'd love to hear about potential places where there are obvious places to camp. I just remember seeing so few of those the last time I was in SNP.
I already know the regulations about where I can and can't camp, so that's not what I'm looking for here. I'm looking for specifics on that stretch of trail.
THANKS!
PS: Also, any word on the current trail conditions in the park??? Is there still snow? Blowdowns from the ice storms?
