  • Wilderness Visitors and Recreation Impacts: Baseline Data Available for Twentieth Century Conditions
    United States Department of Agriculture Wilderness Visitors and Forest Service Recreation Impacts: Baseline Rocky Mountain Research Station Data Available for Twentieth General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-117 Century Conditions September 2003 David N. Cole Vita Wright Abstract __________________________________________ Cole, David N.; Wright, Vita. 2003. Wilderness visitors and recreation impacts: baseline data available for twentieth century conditions. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-117. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 52 p. This report provides an assessment and compilation of recreation-related monitoring data sources across the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS). Telephone interviews with managers of all units of the NWPS and a literature search were conducted to locate studies that provide campsite impact data, trail impact data, and information about visitor characteristics. Of the 628 wildernesses that comprised the NWPS in January 2000, 51 percent had baseline campsite data, 9 percent had trail condition data and 24 percent had data on visitor characteristics. Wildernesses managed by the Forest Service and National Park Service were much more likely to have data than wildernesses managed by the Bureau of Land Management and Fish and Wildlife Service. Both unpublished data collected by the management agencies and data published in reports are included. Extensive appendices provide detailed information about available data for every study that we located. These have been organized by wilderness so that it is easy to locate all the information available for each wilderness in the NWPS. Keywords: campsite condition, monitoring, National Wilderness Preservation System, trail condition, visitor characteristics The Authors _______________________________________ David N.

  • Peak to Peak—MST Segment 1
    1 | Mountains-to-Sea Trail Last Updated 11/12/2018 View from the Mountains-to-Sea Trail at Clingmans Dome Photo by Danny Bernstein Peak to Peak—MST Segment 1 Clingmans Dome to Waterrock Knob By Jim Grode The 46.8-mile-long Segment 1 of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail (MST) be- gins in Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP), straddling Ten- nessee and North Carolina. Newfound Gap Road (US 441), which travels north from Cherokee, North Carolina, to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, forms the backbone of the park and climbs to over 5,000 feet at Newfound Gap. If national parks have specialties, the Smokies is known as a hiker’s park. The scenery is diverse: mountain views, old-growth trees, waterfalls, streams, and more shades of green than a paint chart. Mile for mile, you’ll Segment 1 | 2 find hiking in the park easier than in the neighboring national forests. Even though there are no blazes on Smokies trails, they are so well marked at every intersection that you can follow them with confidence. (Still, stop at a Visitor Center and pick up a Great Smoky Mountains Trail Map for $1.00.) The Smokies may be the most visited national park in the country but only the roads and parking lots are congested. With over 800 miles of trails, even popular trails are not very busy. The trails in the Smokies are well maintained and well marked. Hikers will appreciate that they’re in a na- tional park. The Smokies, in a temperate rainforest, have a great variety of wildflowers, from the first bloodroot in March to the last asters in Octo- ber, as well as more tree species than all of Europe.

  • Shining Rock and Grassy Cove Top Hike
    Old Butt Knob Trail and Shining Creek Trail Loop - Shining Rock Wilderness, Pisgah National Forest, NC Length Difficulty Streams Views Solitude Camping 11.9 mls Hiking Time: 8 hours with 2 hours of breaks Elev. Gain: 3,410 ft Parking: Park at the Big East Fork Trailhead on U.S. 276. 35.36583, -82.81786 By Trail Contributor: Zach Robbins The Old Butt Knob Trail and Shining Creek Trail loop is a classic introduction to the Shining Rock Wilderness Area of North Carolina. Beginning at the Big East Fork Trailhead on U.S. 276, both trails climb from 3,384 feet to meet the Art Loeb Trail above 5,800 feet at Shining Rock Gap. Despite the relatively short length of this loop (9.4 miles including Shining Rock), this is a difficult day hike for hikers of all abilities. The Old Butt Knob Trail climbs over 1,400 feet in the first mile, and the Shining Creek Trail is incredibly rocky and steep over its last mile. Despite the hardship, this is an excellent backpacking loop with outstanding campsites and even better views. The Old Butt Knob Trail features multiple views from southern-facing rock outcrops, and the views from Shining Rock and Grassy Cove Top are some of the highlights of the wilderness. Even though this is a wilderness area, this is in close proximity to Asheville and is popular with weekend backpackers. Try to start early if you want to camp at Shining Rock Gap, which is one of the best campsites in the region and is also the crossroads for 4 trails within the wilderness.

    The Tennessee Eastman Hiking & Canoeing News February 1993 Contents Hiking Canoeing For The Record HIKING POND MOUNTAIN WORK TRIP (Scheduled for Saturday, 6 Feb 93) Leader: Ed Oliver (615.349.6668) Rating: Difficult If the weather is reasonable, we will work on the Pond Mountain relocation. If the club installs the relatively level portions of the relocation this winter and spring, we should be able to open the relocation after the Konnarock Crew and the club completes the remainder of the relocation this summer. The weather in February is somewhat unpredictable. If you are interested in helping with this work, contact Ed Oliver at 349.6668. This work will not involve much if any side hill digging. We will concentrate on cutting and digging out brush and in defining the trail. SHINING ROCK WILDERNESS AREA DAY HIKE (Scheduled for Saturday, 6 Feb 93) Leader: Tom Pridgen (Phone: 615.245.5975) Rating: Difficult We will plan to do a day hike in the Shining Rock Wilderness located in the Pisgah National Forest southwest of Asheville, N.C. Driving time from Kingsport to the trailhead will likely be 2.5 hours, one way. The trip leader has not hiked in this area but knows enough about the area to anticipate at least part of the hiking to be exposed to wind above 5000 feet. Expect it to be COLD. We will try to reach the Shining Rock peak via the Art Loeb Trail from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Hiking distance may be as high as 10 miles (round trip) depending on winter access to parking and may involve considerable (3000 feet) elevation gain if the Parkway is closed because of slick roads.
