Itinerary:

Join me on the AT for this fun summer hike in the mountatins. The weather will likely be warm and humid so we'll ease into our hike and not go crazy on speed or distance.

Starting at Woody Gap we'll follow the AT south for about 7 miles and turn around a little past Justice Creek to head back. We'll eat lunch at Justice creek on the way back where we can soak our feet on a hot day. There's no particularly steep or long climbs along the way but we should still have good views south from Ramrock Mountain.

This is a low end D5 hike so you'll at least need a few solid D4 hikes in your profile. Total distance is about 14 miles with an elevation gain of about 2500 ft. Speed will vary between 2.5 and 3.0 mph depending on how the group's doing.

Required Items to Bring:

Appropriate footwear

Plenty of water/electrolytes
