Description


Fri.26 I plan to get there about noon set up camp at Big Creek.Day hike to Mt.Sterling fire tower..12 miles round trip..Big Creek campsite is first come basis but has a camp fee.

Sat. 27 break camp hike Chestnut Branch trail to the AT over Mt.Cammerer(stop to see the awesome fire tower of course)take Low Gap Trail to campsite # 37 at Walnut Bottoms.Free .I have reservations for 4 but we could probably get more if we need them..9-10 miles

Sun 28 hike back to Big Creek..5-6 miles..

moderate to strenuous elevation gains and loses..plenty water sources

Hope you can join me..

Update......3/22

Yam..thought I would spread a little "trail magic" on Friday instead of Sterling..MileMonster and double nickles are planning on reaching the end of the Smokies by the weekend..I think I will drop some stuff at Davenport shelter and go on to do the same at Cosby shelter..maybe I'll run into them..this is so exciting!!!
I'll be at Big Creek Friday night though.."
