A two night backpacking trip up Big East Fork in Shining Rock Wilderness with my son over Thanksgiving weekend 2022. Our initial plan was to take Big East Fork Trail, then Greasy Cove Trail to Art Leob Trail and down Shining Creek Trail back to the Big East Fork Trail Head. However, on Saturday morning I turned by ankle at camp, so we camped our second night at the junction of Big East Fork Trail and Greasy Cove Trail. On Sunday my son completed the initial loop and I backtracked back to the Big East Fork Trail Head. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed the video.
