Description

Once we get to the Tinker Cliffs parking lot, we'll hike 3.5 miles up to the Lambert's Meadow Shelter on the AT, about 1.4 miles from the top of Tinker Cliffs. We'll set up camp for the night near/at the shelter and then hike up to the top of Tinker Cliffs to watch the sunset. We'll hike back down the 1.4 miles to the shelter after dark, hang out and spend the night there, then hike back out the next morning.

What You Should Bring

Make sure to bring 4-5 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.
