Description
We will follow the BT main trail from King Road to Smoky Hollow and along Grindstone Creek to Snake Road. We will then turn around and make our back, taking in the McNally Side Trail on the return route. The terrain will feature a number of hills and some tricky sections with exposed tree roots.
The weather in August can be hot, muggy and buggy! Dress for the weather, keeping in mind that insects, including ticks, will be out in full force. Take appropriate precautions to avid insect bites, including using insect repellent and wearing clothing that covers the legs and arms. Hiking boots are required and poles are recommended.
Bring plenty of water and snacks. We will take regular hydration and snack breaks along the way.
Please arrive at 8:15 am as we will leave promptly at 8:30 am.
