Description


Friday Night - we will meet at the first campsite off from Sycamore Trail. Campsite is less than 1/2 mile (if that) from the parking lot.

Saturday's hike can be anywhere from 5-10 miles depending on where you start.

Saturday Night - we will camp at the ridge top near Patton Cave.

Patton Cave is off from Grubb Ridge loop trail. It's an "unmarked trail" , but easy to find. The trail to Patton Cave is between Hays trail and Penninsula trail. The cave is about 8-8.5 miles from where we are camping Friday night. Other choices would be to park at the 2nd parking area on Saturday and hike from there. That makes the cave about 5 miles. It also makes for a shorter hike out on Sunday. The shortest hike would be from Hays Trail. It would be about 4 miles from there.
