Are there signs at the Parking lot to show where to go to get back to the AT? Can we park there overnight?

Rainman,

Why don't we plan on hiking from West Mountain Shelter to Hemlock Springs Campsite for Saturday night and then we can hike to my car early Sunday morning. That would be a total of 9.2...

Rainman,

The 2nd set sound better. So we can meet early Friday morning and head to West Mountain shelter. Can't wait to get there.

If anyone is familiar with the Area what's the best shuttle...

Does anyone know where I can park at Greenwood Lake and how far from the trail the parking is?

I recently bought the Sierra Designs 600-DriDown Pillow total weight is 5.8oz. It's not that UL but is extremely comfortable on the trail. I agree restful sleep is the most important thing on the...

Rainman, if you are still looking for someone, I could join for 2 days June 13th & June 14th . Let me know!

thanks for the input everyone

I bought a mid hiking boot and trail runners but I just don't haven enough support in my ankles which is why I'm using such a heavy boot in the summer.

I'm thinking of starting at DWG or maybe in Harriman. There is a few different sections, I've been contemplating. I'm open to any suggestions

I love Merino wool in colder weather, but how does it work when it's hot out? Wouldn't it be too hot for me? Would I only wear a long sleeve Merino wool shirt or use that as a base under say a...

I've only been backpacking/hiking in the fall and winter months as I love cold weather hiking. The reason I do is because I sweat a lot and hate being hot. I am going to start backpacking/hiking in...

I have an 9 month old Black Labrador Retriever mix named Orvis. We rescued him about 6 weeks ago and I want to take him backpacking on section hikes on the AT. He has a Ruffwear Palisade's Backpack...

I was planning on camping at the backpacker site. I'm sorry if I didn't make that clear. The backpacker site is still open as far as I'm aware of. I stayed there last year.

Would anyone want to go on a 1 or 2 night trip starting from the Delaware Water Gap? My friend and I are planning on a trip next weekend but he may have to cancel due to work but I would still like...

I went on a 2 day trip over the weekend and really like my Copper Spur. I did want to know though what was the best way to guy out the lines. I felt that I had extra guy lines that I wasn't using and...

Would be 2 days. Planning on starting early Saturday morning and come back Sunday late afternoon early evening. Got to back to work the next day.

Brad, I have to check my schedule but I may be able to go with you.

I'm down to do anything really. I am planning on doing a section hike from Dennyton Rd to Bear Mountain next weekend. And looking for other trips after that.

Does anyone use compression bags for their tents?

Great! Thanks for the replies! I'm really excited as this is my 1st long trip as I've only done weekend trips before.
