My Best Hike: Mt. Rogers/Grayson Highlands
Best Hike Description: For Memorial Day weekend last year, we hiked from Elk Garden to Partnership Shelter. Great scenery and friendly ponies.
My Worst Hike: Descending Camel's Hump on the Long Trail in Vermont
Worst Hike Description: We were doing a section hike of the Long Trail in Vermont, and the descent from Camel's Hump in the rain was hell on earth. It's pretty steep in places, and the rain made the rocks very slippery. I wiped out twice, and by the time we got to the next shelter, I was bruised and bloody (and soaking wet).
A Memorable Trail Moment: During our Mt. Rogers hike, my dog Indy, who sleeps outside the tent, woke us up in the middle of the night with some low growling. My first thought was that there was a bear or a serial killer approaching our tent. When we poked our heads out of the tent and fired up the headlamps, we saw several pairs of eyes about 20 ft away. It took a few seconds for us to realize that we were camped right next to a cow pasture and that a dozen or so cows were out on a late-night stroll.
