"Lon and I hiked the Appalachian Trail Approach Trail from Nimblewill Gap to the high point of the trail on Black Mountain, then we did a light to moderate bushwhack up the northwest ridge. On the way back down we found an easier bushwhack route than the way we went up. The trick is to keep right going up and keep left going down to avoid the tallest and thickest briars. Much easier than I thought it would be on this last full day of winter." — davidensley • Mar 18, 2024
"Hiked Appalachian Trail from Gooch Gap to Peak 3252 ft with light to moderate bushwhacks to three peaks on the way out (Peaks 3120 ft, 3160 ft, and 3252 ft) and stayed on trail on the way back. Gina turned back before the first peak. For both Peak 3120 ft and Peak 3160 ft I recommend bushwhacking the east ridges and avoiding the west ridges." — davidensley • Mar 11, 2024
