Would you like to backpacking along a river, crossing the river often, and going for a swim at camp?
We will be hiking along Jack’s River leaving from the Jack’s River Western Trailhead at Alaculsy. This is an In and Out trip. The first day we will attempt to hike to the last campsite (we call it The Island) before the large waterfall and swimming hole.
The Second day we will hike to Jack’s River Falls where we will stop to play in the river and have lunch before hiking downstream.
Our third day will be a pleasant 3-5 mile hike back to our cars, followed by lunch in Chattanooga.
Dress in clothes that dry relatively quickly, as well as WEAR SHOES THAT ARE RIVER CROSSING WORTHY! We will be crossing the river so often that we will not want to stop to allow you to take off your leather boots for every crossing, nor do you want leather boots or heavy boots to be saturated with water… it is not very comfortable. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO USE TREKKING POLES for the river crossing and pack your sleeping bag/clothes in a form of dry sack.
You will need to supply your own breakfast (2 days), lunch (2 days), dinner (2 days), and snacks, water is plentiful along the trail. Participants are also encouraged to bring extra socks and shoes to be worn in camp.
