20220827 Grayson Highlands Backpack – Truck In (Trip Sheet)
20220827 Troop 48 Grayson Highlands Truck-In Schedule (Schedule)
Packing List
Trip consists of 2 parts:
(A) Backpacking Trip This should NOT be your first backpacking trip without consideration. (~ 9 miles) from the Visitor Center parking lot at Massie Gap to the “Scales” area via part of the Appalachian Trail and the Wilson Creek Trail. Camping will be west of Third Peak. An excellent spring is about 200 yards south of the ridge/woods camping area. Trails are rated “moderate difficulty.” Meals will be prepared by patrols from their pre-planned menus. May use wood cooking fires and/or backpacking stoves. The trail route back is via the “Scales” and Big Wilson Creek Trail to the Grayson Highlands Campground.
(B) Truck-in Camping in the Grayson Highlands State Park Campground. Day hikes (Masse Gap & The Little Pinnacle) and blueberry picking are special activities available.
Great effort will go to hold Troop 48 Style campfires (if weather permits). Patrols should be prepared with stories, jokes, and songs to share. Troop 48 church services are planned for Sunday. Vehicle shuttles will be used between the Campground, Massie Gap, and Visitor Center parking lots.
