UPDATE: With all the recent rain (and the forecast calling for more), trail/river conditions are not looking good for our 4-legged friends tomorrow (10/8)! Soggy, slick trails + pulling dogs are not a good combination — and swollen rivers aren’t safe for pup swims either…. I am going to attempt a re-do on SUNDAY, November […]

Please join us for this last official section of our section-hike-through from Cheoah Bald to Beechertown the trailhead. This section will be about 7.5 miles in total. We've planned this section for the least amount of backtracking and elevation gain, but it will still be an interesting hike. We're planning to meet at the Beechertown […]
