  • Hi John....I have a question about the Piney River hike. Last weekend I hiked LeConte and then the next day Charlie's Bunion....have a really sore achilles.. I'm trying to avoid a lot of hills until it feels better--how hilly will this hike be? I looked up the trail and it said just 800' elevation gain but will we gain and lose that several times throughout the day? Thanks!

  • Welcome to the group John. I am guessing the dog is yours so we plan to do some dog friendly hikes in the future, if you are interested. Hope to see you on the trails soon.
