Description
This is a 13-mile loop near the Blue Ridge Parkway about 2 hours from campus in North Carolina. We'll meet on campus on Saturday morning at 7 am and carpool down to the trailhead to start our trek by 9:30 am. We'll be backpacking the bulk of the loop (11 miles and about 3000 ft of elevation) on Saturday, and ending the day by arriving at our campsite, hanging out, and going to bed. Sunday morning, we'll have a nice leisurely 2-mile walk back out to the car and drive back to campus.
What You Should Bring
Bring all of the backpacking essentials (several liters of water, food, snacks, camping gear, hiking shoes, etc.). A more comprehensive list will be sent out in a GroupMe group chat closer to the trip date.
