We’ll meet and start from Byron Reece parking lot. We’ll take US-19 to go about 0.5 miles to Neels Gap, and then follow AT (Appalachian Trail) NoBo (North Bound) to Cowrock Mt. We’ll take a break at its summit and enjoy the beautiful wide open views. After break we’ll retrace and follow the AT SoBo (South Bound) to get back to our cars. <<< Important Notes >>> The event duration does NOT include our travelling/ driving time. If you're going to meet at the event, please arrive 10 minutes before our starting time. Our duration time is an educated estimate, so we need to have some flexibility. This event is physically challenging and rewarding. You can fully enjoy it if and only if you have good fitness and endurance. Please only register if you are comfortable going long distance at a pace of 2.5 mph in the remote mountains environment, and have recent D4 experience. If your recent experience is not from the club, please include it in a note when you register, or email TL; otherwise you will be moved to the waiting list for the safety of everyone. We encourage our members to actively participate with joyful experience, and most importantly to stay healthy and safe at the end of our trip. | |||||||
