UPDATE: CAMPING IS NO LONGER ALLOWED ON TOP OF MAX PATCH.
Recently I shuttled a couple to the top of Max Patch. They were leaving on a two day hike on the Appalachian Trail and ending in Hot Springs. I remember loving this section while thru hiking and have come back to do some overnights and day hikes. This section has a lot to offer anyone from beginner to advanced hiker. In this video I go over the entire section in detail.
I refer a lot to the Leave No Trace Principals. To properly prepare for your upcoming section hike please review these principals with yourself and any others in your group. those 7 principals are..
-Plan ahead and prepare.
-Travel and camp on durable surfaces.
-Dispose of waste properly.
-Leave what you find.
-Minimize campfire impacts (be careful with fire).
-Respect wildlife.
-Be considerate of other visitors.
Additionally please bring proper navigation tools while hiking on the Appalachian Trail. I recommend the app Guthook Guides (Standing Bear to Damascus section), #4 Pocket Profile (Davenport Gap to Erwin) or the AWOL AT Guide.
