Join me for 3 days of Winter Hammock Camping, Backpacking & Hiking in the Smoky Mountains. GPS Data at www.sintax77.com
For this winter camping adventure, I’ll be doing a Gregory Bald Loop Hike, incorporating campsite 13 Sheep Pen Gap, campsite 113 Birch Spring Gap, and a hike to the Shuckstack Fire Tower. This is my second backpacking trip to the Smokies, but due to the shorter winter days, ice, and snow, I’ll be slowing the pace down a bit compared to my previous hammock camping experience there.

A backcountry permit is required for all campsites in this area. You can reserve them for $4 per night on the Smoky Mountains National Park website here: smokiespermits.nps.gov/index....
Full GPS track Data, including campsites, water sources, etc, for this trip and many others can be downloaded in the above blog link or on my website’s Trip Data Page.
Trailhead Used: Twenty Mile Ranger Station Parking Area N35° 28.073′ W83° 52.601′
This parking area has room for several vehicles. The Twenty Mile Ranger station is right nearby and visible from the lot.
Trails Used, Day 1:
Begin at the Twenty Mile Trailhead
Twenty Mile Trail
Wolf Ridge Trail
Setup Camp at Sheep Pen Gap, campsite 13
This site is often rather windy. Two banks of bear cables are on site. I melted snow for water while here, but there is a spring 300 yards or so down the trail, which is the headwater for Panther Creek. By most accounts, it is often pretty muddy, presumably from animal activity. Try to find an upstream spot to source your water make sure to sterilize it properly.
Day 1 Mileage: 7 Miles
Day 1 Elevation Gain: 3,581′
Trails Used, Day 2:
Gregory Bald Trail
Appalachian Trail, Southbound
Setup Camp at Birch Spring Gap, campsite 113
This is a large multi-spot campsite with multiple designated tent areas. Some of these spots offer tree options for hammocks, but not all of them. Two banks of bear cables are on site. There is also a very nice reliable piped spring, and a single communal fire ring.
Day 2 Mileage: 5.5 Miles
Day 2 Elevation Gain: 1,732′
Trails Used, Day 3:
Continue on the Appalachian Trail South
At the intersection with Twenty Mile Trail, continue on the AT towards Shuckstack.
Shuckstack Spur Trail
Climb the 60′ Shuckstack fire tower
Return to the Twenty Mile Trail intersection
Twenty Mile Trail
Return to the Twenty Mile Trailhead
Day 3 Mileage: 6 Miles
Day 3 Elevation Gain: 700′
Grand Total 3 Day Mileage: 18.5 Miles

Some buddies and I stayed at this same campsite (113) a few years ago. We, like you came across this same large brown box and thought it was odd. We decided it was some sort of utility box for workers and maintenance bc SMNP Never uses bear boxes. (I wish that they did) when we booked the sight, it had just opened back up due heavy bear activity. If you walk around and observe some trees, there are many claw marks. However, we wound up bailing bc about 8 major storms came roaring through and came close to hypothermia. After reaching our vehicle where you were parked, about a dozen or so trees were blown down after we had just hiked through there just hours before. One of the most memorable and scariest trips I have ever experienced in all my backpacking adventures. Btw, we did manage to conquer Gregory Bald. Love your stuff man! Keep on hiking!!!

Hello my outdoors friend, I am really enjoying this video. You always do a fine job of filming. You also set a fine example when out in the wilderness. I believe the bears pulled the signs and locked the food locker. They often do that to confuse the hikers. You do a fine job of narration, that keeps us U-tubers informed as to what is going on. I am going to kick back and watch the rest of your fine video. Take care, be safe and have a lot of fun. See you on the next one. 🤗

I enjoyed this video. I actually watched it twice. My camping experience is limited to my Cedar chalet in the Smokies, near Pigeon Forge, TN. I have my heat/air, hot tub, running water, Internet and cable, hah! I love the Smokies though and have taken a few day hikes in the National Park, but now mostly hike the hills near my cabin. I'm sure you know this, but I will say that The Smokies get their name from the Indians who once lived in the mountains. They called the Smokies "The Land of the Great Smoke." Of course the smoke comes from all the vegetation in the area. Keep hiking, and cone back to the South once more.

Enjoyed the video, and the effort you put into filming it! I'm about an hour from the GSMNP, and backpack a couple of weekends a month there. The climb to #13 is tough from any direction, and Wolf Ridge has lots of places that make you think you're near the top, only to round a switchback and keep climbing. Someone else mentioned this, but there is another (better) water source on the other side of the bald. Follow the path marked with the "no horse traffic" signs to the location of the old Moore Springs shelter, where there is a reliable spring. The path loops back around to rejoin the Gregory Bald trail near the junction with the Gregory Ridge trail. The metal box at #113 is a storage box used by the park service to store tools and such. No more bear boxes in the park - just cables. That site gets closed for bear trouble pretty early in through-hiker season, so the signage may have just been left out. The stone wall there is also part of an old shelter that has been decommissioned. If you want to see pics of the views from any of these places, feel free to track me down @bobcarrphoto on social media. Again, thanks for sharing!

Awesome video of an awesome loop! I went on this loop in late March a few years back with two of my friends that had never been backpacking and it brought back some great memories. To clarify about Gregory Bald, it is unclear on why it was initially bald, some say settlers cleared it, others argue that it happened naturally. In either case, the park actually maintains it as a bald. I was leading a trip up there with teenagers last summer and there were park rangers that were up there with lawn mowers! If they didn't do that, the forest would naturally start taking over. If you have any questions about the Smokies, shoot me a message, I have quite a bit of experience there.
