Hey gang, when I leave in a few weeks I'm going to have my Dad drop me off at the FS 42 parking area. Looking at the map, I assume you head south on the trail to the Springer terminus, sign in, take a photo and then backtrack to begin the nobo hike.
I was thinking that it would be nice for my Dad to do that two mile round trip with me but wanted to know how tough that area is. My Dad has some health problems and can't do a tough two miler.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
