Lots of space at Icewater, even to the right of the photo and down a bit. I was at Tricorner earlier this year. I set up my tent to the left side of the shelter as you are looking at it. It is a...

I have always wondered what to do if a bear is walking around outside your tent. Do you yell out? Sit quietly and hope it walks away?

Please, you didn't blow anything. This is invaluable information and I sincerely appreciate it. I can't thank you enough. I ordered the "brown book".

I think that I found the brown book, but what is the dollar map?

I found the Bone Valley side trail, but I am still interested in which map you are using. Thank you.

@TNhiker and @HooKooDooKu. THANK YOU very much. I was looking for 10+ miles per day so TN hiker's suggestion may work. We ended up combining the last two stops of the last hike you suggested (16...

Reviving this thread. Looking for some more 3 to 4 day loop ideas, doing 10+ miles a day. The one suggested by HooKooDooKu was amazing. Thank you in advance.

Of course. Thank you. Would there be another option for overnight parking?

Megis Creek trail head is safe to park at?

Standing Bear helped me out. Thank you everyone for your advice.

Thank you. Is the parking safe for multiday parking?

Can you park at Max Patch? Is it even open? Difficult to find information. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the messages so far. I confirmed with the park service that the station WILL be closed this Wednesday when I plan on going. @TNhiker can you elaborate on what you mean by the Big...

So, it is still a bad idea to just park at Davenport Gap? I don't mind paying the guy to park as long as my car is safe. Can you PM me the info if you have it? BTW @hookoodooku I am hiking the...

Hello,

Can you park for a few days at Davenport Gap? Big Creek is closed. I tried calling the General Store and it is closed too. Any ideas for safe parking for a few days around Davenport Gap?...

Starting from Big Creek, I am looking at the map and I see only site 38 about 6 miles in and the next site as site 47 which is about 15 miles or so away. Is there nowhere between the two to spend...

Looks like GSMNP is doing a "phased" reopening. Does anyone have any more info? Would love to hike the AT or BMT mid May. Thank you in advance.

It is shocking that you would think this, let alone write it.

I saw the same thing. Huge bummer.

Thank you. That gives me some hope.

Anything?! Dying to go!

Thank you!

I see, so lots of planning involved. OK, thank you for the information. Gives me much to think about.

Hello,

If I plan to hike the BMT, are reservations required for campsites?

Thank you. So I will either have to stay at a shelter or designated campsite. Is is difficult to get reservations for the backwoods sites?
