The trail starts on the AT and gradually climbs up Meadow Mountain and Bee Mountain, past Maupin Field Shelter and the intersection for Mau-Har Trail (which will be your return route). Once you and the rest of the Lech-Lecha trek group reach Bee Mountain, you will continue for 2.5 miles and take in vista after vista until you reach Chimney Rock Overlook. Here, you’ll get lovely views of Bolton Mountain and Cat Rock Mountain. After a well-deserved break at Chimney Rock Overlook, you’ll hike 1.8 miles to Harpers Creek Shelter, the main camping area in Three Ridges Wilderness — and an ideal spot to set up camp. Just after the shelter, you will cross Harpers Creek, and shortly after that, you will reach the Mau-Har trail. Be sure to stop at nearby Campbell Creek, where you will find several refreshing waterfalls and many inviting swimming holes. The trail is a lollipop trail (a loop trail connected by a short out-and-back trail). So, on your way back via the wooded Mau-Har trail, you will hop back on the AT, just past the Maupin Field Shelter. On the final day, you will retrace our steps to the parking area at Reeds Gap. Once you have all of your gear packed up, head to nearby Devil’s Backbone Brewery or Blue Mountain Brewery for some well-deserved R&R. More details coming…
Trek Theme Creation: inspired by creation all around us, we will come into our creative power, as a community and as individuals, breathing, envisioning, and manifesting together.
