So let me start off first by saying, DO NOT HIKE ALONE! This was a spur of the moment tour on a scouting mission and wasn’t the smartest thing to do. That being said, do it. Part of my actual bucket list is to walk the entire Appalachian Trail so this was a very sliver of a preview. Woody’s Gap to Gooch Gap is about a 3.5 mile walk there and back. So prepare to hike and prepare for some steep hills both up and down. A few times the trail was blocked and there was some climbing involved. (Don’t hate me mom, I’ll never hike along again I promise)
The views are worth it though:
