myself and afterburner just did this cw during the polar vortex. two nights single digit temps. Ice hike! when you go cw you can camp at pleasant stream and rock run. double plus plus good. ccw lets the shelters come into play. cw also has steeper climbs if you want a workout. just saying. if going in the winter take pleasant stream road. marten road or hillsgrove rd are way to dangerous. can be icy.
How was the road getting to the trail head, I know in the past it has had some damage, hard to drive in. I'm doing this trip in a few weeks. Nice video ! Thanks for sharing
Did you hear any turkeys gobbling during your trip? I want to do this loop this coming spring and hunt/fish as part of it. Should be prime turkey area. Thanks for any info.
We started at the campground up from the ghost town, there was a big chimney. We started there and went straight up the mountain away from the ghost town. Be careful when crossing the makeshift bridges right before the ghost town.
My girlfriend and I ran into you guys twice on this hike! I was wondering if you were going to post this to UA-cam. Nice talking to you 2! I see you found the shelter. Did you see the water supply?
This was so much fun! Found the shelter and the water source, just like you described. Did you all stay at the other shelter or camp closer to the river?
Glad you found the water! It was easy to miss. We found a great site near a small stream before the river at rock run. We had and awesome evening at the campsite😄! Sometimes I can't believe this is all free. It was a few miles past the shelter. Hiked out in the light rain in the morning. We are getting ready for our next adventure to the Smokie Mountains next week. Hope to run into you again 😀
In all of my time hiking, I rarely run into anyone at the same stopping point. Dolly Sods is the only place I can think of that I have seen multiple hikers in the same area. With that being said, if someone stopped at the shelter and wanted to camp, I would take down my hammock and make room. We got really lucky on finding these shelters, we had tornado warnings throughout most of the night.
Casper's Adventures awesome! You'll love it. Worlds end has a visitor center with bathrooms and free phones to use outside. Lots of scenery change and some good elevation changes. Have fun dude!!
one of my favorite hikes. hiked this five times, never gets old!

Nice video. I have only done part of the north loop using the side trails but I plan to do the complete loop soon. Thanks for sharing.
Did you guys do the trail CW or CCW?
At 57:34 if you had turned left and walked out just a bit you would have seen the actual vista. It's a nice view if its clear.
We scoped it out, the cloud cover was low. I bet the view is amazing when it's clear.
How much did u guys hike the first day, my group hiked 17 miles

The road was fine. I imagine closer to the trail head it could get pretty nasty if there was a ton of rain.
Was this actually in May? There are no leaves on the trees... Looks more like Fall...
Spring came late to PA in 2018 :/
Definitely May

We saw turkey tracks about 2 hours into our hike and then again on the 2nd day, we were looking off of a knob. We saw plenty of deer and a coyote.
@@caspersadventures4656 awesome, thanks for the intel!
Did you start at the Masten Ghost town start? which way did you head from there?

My family used to belong to the cabin with the 'heated outhouse' .. trust me, it wasn't hahaha
What happens when someone else comes along to use the shelter? Do you leave your hammocks up and become shelter hogs?
