    Probably the best place to backpack in the Virginia/DC area. Certainly for the views. Glad to see you were on the receiving end of the full spectrum of the weather you can get up--I was in a blizzard in the summer once...

      Yeah the Dolly Sods can be “variable” lol. One of my favorite places to backpack, but I fear for the future with the high amount of overuse there.

    I was there years ago and had a great but challenging time due to the poor trail markers. Good thing we had a GPS... Looking forward to part 2.

      Yeah GPS is almost a necessity in the sods. Loved the trip though, place is awesome.

    Thank you for sharing. I also like to rock the HPG kit bag for "incidentals".

      It’s funny to me that out of all the gear I have the kit bag is the one that people comment on the most haha. Definitely didn’t expect that one. Thanks for watching!

    Greetings from a fellow Buckeye! My wife and I have hiked a lot of the same areas you guys have. Great video. Heading to Dolly Sods in a couple weekends. Would you mind sharing your route? We are looking at 3 days, 2 nights and would like to hit some of your camping sites. Happy Trails!!

    • @Bacon_N_Backpacking
      @Bacon_N_Backpacking  2 роки тому +1

      Sure, do you have AllTrails? I could probably dig up the map and tell you trail by trail which route I took but that would get a bit hairy at the intersections. Let me know how you’d like to proceed and thanks for watching!

      @@Bacon_N_Backpacking I do have All Trails and a topo map. I don't want to take much of your time. If you list the trail names, I can figure it out. Thank you so much!!

    Very nice video. I know the Sods like the back of my hand. Nice job. Tell Allison to cinch up her bottom straps on her pack otherwise she looks like a newbie, sorry.

      Where is the classic view? This trip is the only time I’ve ever been out there. I just wanted to climb on top of it lol
