Hey guys! im planning on doing a new years eve hike in the smokies. Im planning on doing an easy hike what i have planned so far is this:
Day 1: take meigs creek trail to meigs mountain trail (3.5 miles)
then take the meigs mountain trail to campsite 19 (1.8 miles)
Day 2: Continue on meigs mountain trail to jakes creek trail (4.2 miles) then take jakes creek trail to elkmont (between .2 to .5 miles idk) where i will be picked up
i was just wondering if anyone could tell me ANYTHING about the trails i will be on and the campsite I will be staying at. The trail looks relatively easy but then again all Ive done is look at it on a map.. Any info on the trails and campsite would be appreciated.
Also, I was wondering if there was any rule that you had to be 18. i looked at the rules and regulations for back country camping and did not see anything stating you had to be 18 but i just want to be sure.. im only 16
There is no better way to start the year out than being in the mountains!
Thanks,
JD
