Take home your VA TRIPLE CROWN. This hike is for experienced backpackers only, please read all pertinent information before RSVP'ing. This is going to be heavy mileage days and a challenge, so be prepared!

Let's tackle Tinker Cliffs, McAfee and Dragons tooth in one weekend. But guess what?! We are taking it UP A NOTCH. We will be doing the first 10 miles or so in THE DARK as a glow party. We will all meet at the Andy Layne trail head at 9:15pm on Friday, May 2nd and hike to Pig Farm campsite in the dark while sporting our colorful glow paints, bracelets, and crowns!

If you are worried about what you will need please text MERB at 704-224-8559. This hike is completely self sustained so you will be responsible for all of your own food and water carries and providing your own gear.

Day 2 - We will hike from Pig Farm up to McAfee and then all the way to dragons tooth. Day 2 will be a long day but we will take many breaks and enjoy the scenery.

Day 3 - We will hike the remaining miles back to our car at Andy Layne. Be prepared for big hike days on Day 2 and 3!

If possible try to carpool. Unfortunately Food Lion's car is at max capacity so we can't carpool anyone for this backpacking trip.
