Raid, Thanks for the advice. I did complete the hike last weekend. We stopped 6 miles in for the night, did Springer in the morning and took Len Foote back. Stopped 4.5 from the visitor center...
Thanks for the advice. Guthook is only for the long trails. Len Foote was on AllTrails, but it was inaccurate. There is plenty of water along the route though.
Thanks just got back today! It was great to get out again.
Other than Amicalola Falls, are there good water sources along the approach trail and Len Foote trails? It’s going to be hot this weekend and it is the first time out in 6 years. I am sure I will...
Awesome, thanks for the information. I think we are going to do the approach up and then the Len Foote Hike Inn Trail back. Should be fun either way.
So it has been about 6 years since I was on the trail and now over 5. I completed all of GA with my nephew who called it quits at Springer and could not do the hike down. Now I am think of doing...
Helen GA is an hour away, but it is a beautiful scenic alpine village.
[QUOTE=Christoph;2115608] I'm 6'2" and use a $40 Ebay tent that's 6x4 feet and I sleep diagonal. /QUOTE]
Christoph,
May I suggest not going with such a tent. I went out for a week with one of...
I was out for a week with a fella who used the ProTec knee braces and swears by them. He has logged a couple hundred miles with them and highly recommended them to me.
So if I am following this right…..
When “A Walk in the Woods” came out many people complained because of the increased traffic on the trail, overcrowding at the shelters and desecration of a...
Penny B, while I am not a female hiker, I did take my two daughters (21 and 18 yrs old) out this year for a week long hike. I do not think they ever felt unsafe, but my mind was full of every...
While the PCT Method has its merits, I prefer a 2 rope system. The first rope has a carabineer on one end which is thrown over a branch. The second rope is looped through the carabineer. Then the...
Have a great hike; the weather should be wonderful!
Amazing pictures
I just came back from a five day trip with four in my group. I had a Sawyer Mini with a gravity bag set up. Took about 10 minutes to fill 8 water bottles. I love the set up! No complaints at all.
Beautiful pictures, makes me wish I was there instead of being at work!
This was a tragic, isolated incident. A good map will help re-orient a misguided hiker.
I hiked this section just a few weeks ago, plenty of options and plenty of water. You will not have any issues finding a place to camp. Enjoy your trip.
I know this is beyond what the OP intended, but you can sign up at The Catholic Company for daily emails with readings (linked to USCCB site) and meditations, saint of the day and the Pope's...
Now that concludes the "fun with math" lesson for the day.......
Thanks for the advice. I returned the large bottles for 1 liter bottles. I think we will carry bladder empty and fill them if needed. Also I made a gravity filter as there are 4 of us in the...
Not to hijack the thread, but I am getting ready to go out for the first time in 10 years. I was planning on bringing two large Smartwater bottles (1.5L). Would it be better to have a bladder and...
Greenlight, God Bless you for your efforts! I mean that sincerely; I am headed out shortly for a week long hike and I too started looking for a Mass close by. This is a wonderful reference.

PacDaddy, I wish you well on your hike! It is inspirational to say the least!
I am moving in on 46 and the scale has been creeping up for me as well. I am headed out for a week long journey...
I was looking to see if anyone had some updated information on parking at Rockfish Gap.
