Out with 13 others on a Death March hike from HQ to Sizer and then down Blue Ridge to Poverty. Near perfect weather today. Cool at times when the wind came up, but mostly just right. It was a great group of hikers. Had a great time exploring a new part of the park for me. Thanks Sammydee for organizing the group!
Stats for the day:
~9 hours of hiking (7:00am to 4:15pm)
16.2 miles
4554 ascent
4631 descent
Well, we had a group of hardcore hikers today. Everyone did well on the climb up here. That was one steep climb up to the bench though. We took a long break to celebrate.
