I will be up at Whigg meadow In the Chrokee NF this weekend- If anyone hikes through there, stop and say hello!
It would be great to meet fellow trailspacers out in our true habitat :)

Gonzan, what a GREAT place. havn't been there in years myself though. Sad to say that I have to work this weekend or id make a run up there for sure.
You ever done much hiking on the Benton McKaye Trail? I was looking at it the other day and never really noticed that it ran right there near the meadow.
Enjoy the trip and let us know how it turns out!

renegade-
I have hiked a little bit of it, but only about ten miles or so, mostly between Farr Gap and Beech Gap. I am sure I will hike more of it in the future.
I haven't been to Whigg before, but I am taking my little sister out backpacking for her first trip, so I figured I would keep it really easy. It should be a fun, beautiful, and very light trip- something to get her really excited and motivated to go backpacking more.
I will try to bring back some good photos to give Tipi's shots a run for the money ;)

I hiked the BMT years ago and loved it. I did not go to Whigg Meadow and still have not been. From what I read I understand there is a spur trail that takes you there (?). Thanks for the photos Tipi, and Gonzan good luck to you, I hope you have fun and please do post some photos when you get back.
So many places to hike in...what to do?
