I was fortunate to be part of a crew of Scouts and adults who backpacked in the Great Smoky Mountains from February 17 through 19. I am including a few pictures for your viewing, but here is what we encountered:
-8 inches of snow Sunday morning
-5.5 miles of backpacking, climbing 3000 ft. through this snow
-temperatures around 10 degrees with 20-25 mph winds Sunday evening
-Great sunshine on Monday
-Sore muscles all week
What a great trip! I highly recommend the Mt. Sterling area, accessible from the Big Creek access are on the NC/TN border.
