About This Trail

Imported description

It's North from a State park to AT SoBo. The camp was located near the Thomas shelter. On AT you should turn right on Mount Rogers Trail. It goes from Lewisfork Trail to the Lewis FOrk Trail. I camped near the Wise shelter night 2. It is easy to return to the parking area of Massy Gap on day 3.
