North Carolina AT Hike -

There were 4 people on the hike. Two, of which, were not part of GO. We had great weather for this hike on National Naked Hiking Day. There were a couple of nice views to go along with the nice weather. The 9.5 mile hike had an evelation gain of 2091 ft. and took 5 hours and 15 minutes.

It was a clothing optional hike.

This will be about a 9.5 hike on the AT in southern North Carolina. The hike will be north to south and will take about 7 hours to complete. My book," Exploring the Appalachian Trail" calls this a strenuous hike when hiking south to north. This should be a moderate hike in difficulty.

This hike will require a shuttle. The good news is that both trailheads are a very short drive apart.

The trailheads are about 10 miles west o Franklin, NC just off of US 64. 

We will meet at the Huddle House in Fanklin, NC. Try to be there by 9:30 AM as we will be leaving the Huddle House at 10:00 AM sharp. I hope to be hiking by 11:00 AM.
