    Beech Creek to Big Scaly
    If you don’t mind getting your feet wet, this is the trail for you. Fantastic views from atop Big Scaly. Do it counter clockwise so you give your shoes time to dry out by the time you are back at the trailhead. Don’t do this May - November. Overgrown and not well maintained trail. Maybe the reason why it’s not popular. Only other mammals we saw were wild pigs - which was incredible☺️

    Ridgepole Mountain Loop via Appalachian Trail
    The loop was pretty packed with through hikers this last weekend and rangers added signage recommending bear cannisters because of the amount of bear activity and food stolen this last week. We were diligent and had no problems but we avoided camping at busy spots.

    Amazing backpacking trail with great views from Albert Mountain and Standing Indian Mountain. Plenty of camping options throughout. If you’re looking for something challenging, this is it!
