Lots of options inside the GSMNP

Why did the Laundries go to the Florida wilderness area 2 days after he left and retrieve Brian's vehicle which he would need to return home if they don't know exactly what Brian is doing?
Sadly, vehicles parked at trailheads have always been and will continue to be easy targets. In 1973 my girlfriend (now wife) and I were parked at the Alum Cave trailhead heading up to LeConte. When...
One additional thought. If you want more miles, you can go thru Hot Springs to Allen Gap/ NC 208. That section will be 48.6 miles. Hwy 208 is a heavily traveled road and a good rendezvous point.
Lots of rain in that section during the spring. Somewhat spotty rain over the last 2 months but 2 of those rains were torrential. Last one was two weeks ago. Trail should have dried and water...
I did the section from I-40 to Hot Springs twice in 2019 (first with my daughter and second time alone). At the time I was 67. It is a very enjoyable section which is just under 34 miles. Lot of...
Agreed but having read the "study", it is apparent to me that they had their minds made up when they began the study. Mostly assumptions, opinions and conclusions that could easily be negated.

Thanks!! I had completely forgotten about that area. They could raft the Gauley also!!
Not AT related but hoping someone can make a suggestion.
I have 2 nephews who are 15 & 17 living in Baltimore. They have never been camping but purchased tents, bags, pads, cooking gear, etc. but...
This is a very beautiful area and seldom hiked...you may have to do some bushwacking:

Met Rain Man last year while BPing in the GSMNP. Great guy! Condolences to his family.
Thanks for the great suggestions! We are leaning towards the Linville Gorge or Wilson Creek areas because that is about the same distance drive for both of us.
What is your favorite section on the Mtn2Sea so far? Looking for a 2 night trip. Thanks
Looking for non-AT suggestions for me and daughter. She lives in Asheville and I live near Elk Garden VA, so anything in between or near either location. We loved our final trip last year, past...
Met a guy on the AT with one of these packs because he had a pacemaker. No idea how well it works but he said he had no problems.

From 3 days ago.
Colin Zen Gooder The police are handling the financial crime but I’m just helping to locate and report them so the USFS law officers can question or detain them regarding the...
Please remove if this has already been discussed
TRAIL ALERT. Two males were reported by Gooder Grove Hostel in Franklin NC as having attacked, beat, and robbed a female hiker of money and gear...

No attempt to close the parking lot nor the trail head. Also, the road to the top of White Top, where you can pickup the AT, is not closed.
Not certain about Fox Creek but the parking lot at Elk Garden was packed last weekend. Don't think I have ever seen that many cars....parking lot full and 20+ cars parked along the side of the road....
Definitely June, not August, as others have suggested!! You did not mention how many days you have for your hike or what kind of hiking condition you are in. As Slo-go'en suggested, NC is either...
Saw Damascus Brewery in Abingdon. Not sure if they are affiliated.

You didn't mention what type of work that you do....that might be helpful.
Many excellent suggestions from others. I suggest that you get a second job or work a lot of overtime at your current...
Both the Appalachian Regional Commission and Tobacco Regional Revitalization Commission are tax payer funded. The center will not draw in enough new tax dollars to even cover the ongoing operating...
I live 7 miles fro the entrance to Grayson Highland and 6 from Elk Garden. I have had 2 encounters with MLs while trail running. One started to attack my dog but saw me when it was within 3' of my...
