[at-l] Backpacking Trip

[Slyatpct@aol.com (Slyatpct@aol.com)]

You could go the 37 miles from Indian Grave Gap outside of Erwin to the 19E 
trailhead at Roan Mountain/Elk Park.  Without a doubt it's one of the most 
beautiful and challenging sections on the entire trail.

Some of the highlights are Beauty Spot, Unaka Mountain, Roan Mountain, Round 
Bald, Little Hump and Hump Mountain.  Nightly stays could be Beauty Spot at 4 
miles, Cherry Gap Shelter 10m, Clyde Smith Shelter 8 1/2, and OverMountain 
Shelter  at 11 miles leaving 9 miles to the 19E trailhead.  The only drawback 
to hiking south to north would be leaving a car at the 19E trailhead which 
has a high rate of vandalism.  It's best to arrange a shuttle. With an early 
start you could do it north to south.

You can thank me later.  : )
