Itinerary:

11 +/- miles - peak to gap, to peak to gap for 11 miles. Small ascents are 400 feet and the larger climbs are over 1,000 feet. We'll start at the mid point of section 2 in Mulky Gap on the Forest Service Road #4 and end at the the parking lot for the Byron Herbert Reece Trail near Neels Gap .

This hike is for ADVANCED HIKERS AND is not a beginner hike, and will not be like most of my leisurely paced hikes.

I need to have hiked with you and feel comfortable with your speed/endurance/mountain climbing skills, or need a reference from someone I trust who can attest to your level of fitness.

Required Items to Bring:
Plenty of water, snacks, good hiking shoes, headlamp, rain gear. See event checklist for ideas.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

Carpool Cost:

Estimated cost per vehicle for this event is $80.00 using a reimbursement rate guideline of $0.400 per mile. The total amount should be divided by the number of people in the vehicle, including the driver. This is a guideline, not a rule, for drivers but the cost should not be higher unless there are extenuating circumstances.

Notes:

This is NOT a beginner hike, and will not be like most of my leisurely paced hikes. I need to have hiked with you and feel comfortable with your speed/endurance/mountain climbing skills, or need a reference from someone I trust who can attest to your level of fitness.
