Description

Once we get to the dragon’s tooth parking lot, we’ll hike about 1.5 miles up to the AT with our backpacking gear to the campsite. Then we’ll stop and set up for the night around the campsite while it’s still light outside, and then around sunset we’ll hike the last 0.8 miles to the top and enjoy the sunset. After that we’ll head back down to our campsite, hang out, and then go to bed, followed by hiking out the next morning.

What You Should Bring

Make sure to bring 3-5 L of water, dinner, breakfast, backpacking gear, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, tent/hammock, headlamp, hiking boots, and anything else for backpacking and camping the night. I’ll send a detailed list once I make a GroupMe group chat for the trip.
