    Wow this was amazing. So great to see you on your beloved AT. I’m so excited to hit that section. I absolutely agree with you about the green tunnel and the trail in general. Views are great, don’t get me wrong but wildflowers and just being in the forest gets me every time. Now you have to do another AT thru hike so you can vlog it. Would love to see that 😉. Great video. Happy trails.🤘🏻🥾⛰️

      It's an amazing section - you will love it! Highly recommend in the spring when the wildflowers are popping - especially up on Dragon's Tooth. And heck yeah gimme the green tunnel any day! Don't tempt me bahaha - I'm trying to be responsible member of society over here! ;)

    Awesome video!! I will be doing this loop in about a week! With McAfee knob parking closed, were you able to park at dragons tooth for two nights? Thank you!

      Yep, no issues parking in the Dragon’s Tooth parking lot. Have fun!

      Thank you! That’s where most people say they park but I was confused because I’ve also read you’re not supposed to park overnight there. But I wasn’t sure how much they enforce that. I saw you can also park overnight at the Andy Layne lot.

    You said before Trail Days. Some of the audio did not come across well on my computer.

      Yes on my way down to Trail Days. I had a wedding in Maryland the weekend before so went from there to do some hiking in Virginia before Trail Days. I think you will really enjoy this loop!

      Yes, but if you're asking that, I think our perspectives are pretty different. This was a short, fairly easy backpacking trip in my book.

      @@igorn7648 All three! Though if you want to shorten the hike, you could do so with two cars, parking one at the Andy Layne trailhead and the other at the Dragon's Tooth trailhead. That would cut off about 11 or 12 miles.

      @@igorn7648 Oh gotcha! This would be a decent starter backpacking trip, because it's pretty popular (you will see other people around) and you hit a few road crossings, so if something happened and you needed to bail, there is the ability to do that. You got this!
