Hello, I live in the Asheville, NC area and would love to help Mountains to Sea trail hikers coming through the Black Balsam, Graveyard Fields area. I will come and pick hikers up from the Blueridge parkway and bring them into town for REI runs, food runs, a place to stay, several hot meals, and a well deserved shower! Keep your money too, you need it for the trail! My email address is
[email protected]. This summer I will not be present because I am attempting the Pacific Crest Trail, but my girlfriend will be and is more than willing to offer the same services! Thanks!Thanks for the support. The FMST will surely value your help.
Currently Taba is walking his 4th time on the MST. You can email him at
[email protected] or PM him here if you want him to add you to the trail guide.
Email Kate Dixon,
[email protected], so the FMST can add you as hiker support for the Asheville area. Contact the Carolina Mtn Club as well. They maintain the MST a large amount of the trail from around Asheville to Mt Mitchell.
Very generous and much appreciated!
Is there a set of trails near Asheville/Mt Mitchell that will get a hiker from the MST to the AT? I know they two trails connect at Clingman's but I'm hoping there is a route from Mitchell to the AT without having to go west from Mitchell - know of anything?
Endubyu...sorry there is no other connection after the Smokies except for shuttles and extensive road walks.
There is a long term plan to connect the MST from Devils Garden Overlook to the AT somewhere up in Virginia.
