A four night backpacking trip in the Mt. Rogers High Country beginning on the Appalachian Trail and going south to the Pine Mountain Trail and camping on Pine Mountain the first night. A short bushwhack over to the Crest Trail on day two and then the Crest Trail to Scales where I connect back with the AT. Then is south on the AT over Stone Mountain and down to Wilson Creek Trail where I bushwhack across a meadow to join the Virginia Highlands Trail and camp along Big Wilson Creek. On day three I continue on the VHHT to Cabin Ridge and camp near the junction with the Crest Trail. The next day continues on the VHHT to Deep Gap and cut over to the AT and take the AT north to the Mt. Rogers Trail and follow it to Lewis Fork Spur Trail. Then drop down to the Lewis Fork Trail to Cliffside Trail and camp along Lewis Fork. The final day continues down Cliffside Trail then across SR 603 to the Fairwood Valley Trail back to the junction with the AT. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy the video.

A five day backpacking trip in the Mt. Rogers High Country, starting at the Elk Garden Trail Head and taking the Virginia Highlands Horse Trail (VHHT) to the Cabin Ridge Trail and camping on Cabin Ridge. Day two continues on the Cabin Ridge Trail to the VHHT to the Appalachian Trail to Big Wilson Creek Trail to the Kabel Trail and camping along Little Wilson Creek. My son comes in about 10:00 on the second night and camps at my intended site, which was occupied by another backpacker. On the morning of day three I hear my son yelling Dad, so I find him and we continue on the Kabel Trail and then bushwack up to the First Peak Trail then down to Scales and take the VHHT and camp along Big Wilson Creek. Day four continues on the VHHT to the AT to Rhododendron Gap and take the Crest Trail. My son left me on Wilburn Ridge to get water and did not find me camping between the Crest Trail and the AT, so he hiked five miles back to car and headed home a day early. On day five I take the AT back to Elk Garden. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy the video. Backpacking With Bryan DeLay webpage: https://bryandelay.com
