9.3 Mile Hike on the Appalachian Trail from Wayah Bald to Tellico Gap
Details
This hike is a moderate 7.6 mile hike on the Appalachian Trail that will travel south to north, starting at Stecoah Gap and ending at Yellow Creek Gap. The Nantahala National Forest will be home to this hike.
The hike will have one 1000 ft. descent and one 800 ft. climb.
Though the hike is listed as moderate, there are a few knobs that are quite steep that need to be negotiated.
It is estimated that this hike should take about 6 hours. A car shuttle will be required.
Directions
The meeting location for this hike will be the Mc Donalds in Robbinsville, North Carolina. The address for the Mc Donalds is 374 Rodney Orr Bypass, Robbinsville, NC, 28771.
We will be leaving from the Mc Donalds at 9:00 AM sharp to depart for the Yellow Creek Gap Trailhead. The drive to the trailhead should be about 30 minutes. We will leave vehicles here and drive to the Stecoah Gap Parking Lot, about 20 minutes. I would like to be on the trail by 10:00 AM.
This hike requires a car shuttle.
