Details

REQUIRED: You must read the following NVHC Sign-in Sheet Statement/Liability Disclaimer, https://nvhc.com/signin.pdf and then answer the question that you will see when you RSVP with "I accept" to be permitted on the hike.

This is a brisk A-level Friday morning workout. The hike is about 9.7 miles with 1900 feet elevation gain in AT. We will start at Rt 55, go south on the AT, pass Trumbo Hollow, Jim and Molly Denton shelter, until we reach the junction for Mosby campground, where we turn around. On the way back, we will make a quick stop at Jim and Molly Denton shelter (around 6.5 miles in), before returning to the car.

We hike at a pace of 3-3.5 mph when moving. Faster on flat/downhill sections. This is considered a fast hike. We target to complete this hike no later than 11:30 so you'll have a good part of Friday for other errands that life also calls for. You must be experienced in hikes of this distance, elevation gain and speed.

Leader: Xiaobin 857-408-1070
