Thanks so much for the feedback! Sort of what I expected to hear. I will just get a shuttle and park at the NOC. Such a shame that it has to be this way but anytime the trail intersects a road or...

Could anyone please tell me if you think overnight parking at either Burningtown Gap or Tellico Gap is safe? Just concerned if when I return from an overnight hike if I should still expect my car to...
Got it! Thank you!
Thank you for the report! I agree. I live just outside Chattanooga and it has been very dry for the last 3 months. If anyone else has information on the water between Wayah Bald and NOC I would...
I am planning a trip from Wayah Bald to NOC soon. Does anyone know if the water at the Cold Spring Shelter is running right now? Thanks!
Thanks Lone Wolf but my ride to Damascus that morning will not leave early enough for me to arrive that early. I appreciate the offer!
Looking to catch a shuttle Friday morning November 4th up to Massie Gap around 8:30 AM from Damascus. Tried Mount Rogers and Sundog but they leave later than that and I want to get 17-20 miles in on...
Would appreciate some information about going south from Grayson Highlands/ Mount Rogers to Damascus. Going to catch a shuttle up but not exactly sure where the drop off is at Mount Rogers. I want to...
Planning a hike from Mount Rogers south to Damascus the last weekend of this month. Never done this section before. According to the topo map some good level hiking on top and lots of downhill to...
Hello Whiteblaze friends! Just got back from hiking the Presidential Range and Katahdin in early September. Fantastic weather all 6 days of my trip and awsome pictures. My question is this: I have...
I am planning a trip to Maine in early September to go up Katahdin and would like to get some info on the AT up to Katahdin and also "The Knife Edge". Is the knife edge something a non technical...
Thanks guys for the information! Really don't want to part with almost $200.00 for staying 2 nights at huts. Is it a good option to hike down off the ridgeline to some of the campsites shown in the...
I have hiked from Springer to Damascus over the last several years. Have a invitation to do Crawford to Pinkham in the White's in early September and am quite excited but know nothing about the area,...
Well I guess I will weigh in after reading this thread. Hiked in the Tetons and Yellowstone 5 years ago for a week. Did not carry a weapon. Never have. Never felt the need. 5 of us on the trip that...
Thanks for the reply's. Several good ideas. I want to try to avoid filling up a shelter so there would be room for section hikers. Thanks guys!!
I have hiked all the AT from Springer to Damascus so I am familiar with the trail in this area. Wanted to come up with a section to take a group of 10 or less to introduce them to the trail in June....
Most, not all but most people hiking in winter are aware of what they will face as far as weather conditions. I am more concerned with when he starts than his age. If he starts at Springer now and...
I've seen others posting before asking the same questions about using hiking sticks and knew what kind of response you would get. Hiked with and without. If I am hiking with a pack on (which I always...
Did the section between Watauga Dam and Damascus 2 weeks ago and was suprised by something that happened. I got into the Iron Mountain shelter around 5:30 one evening and as you know this time of...
Just one word to add to Summit: AMEN!!!
Just got back from Damascus Saturday. Probably won't be able to get back til spring because of little vacation time left. Thanks for the invite to meet on the trail but it can't happen now. Hope your...
Would appreciate any info as to what road to take to Grayson Highlands to get on the AT and head S to Damascus. Would like to do 30-40 miles. I see the Wise Shelter in the Data Book but no road there...
I am guessing the piped spring is about 200 yds. down. Pretty steep climb but nothing like going down to get water at Vandeventer. I suspect if the water is now just dripping at Abingdon Gap Shelter...
Yes! Parking across the street from Mt. Rogers Outfitters for $2.00 per day and that includes a shower at "Dave's Place". Water may be better farther down from the piped spring at Abingdon Gap...
Just completed a 3 day between US 321 and Damascus on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week. For anyone planning to be hiking in this area there is water at Low Gap US 421 at the piped spring...
