Wednesday 1/17/2007 Hike-Lower Mt. Cammerer
Lower Mt. Cammerer Trail
Distance: 3.8 miles from Cosby campground to back country camp site 35 via Low Gap trail
Elevation change: 400 ft, steady up, then steady back down.
Time: 2 hours one way
Trail type: mostly firm, muddy at times
Temperature: guessing about 30
This was a beautiful hike as yesterday’s snow still hung on the trees. There is an overlook about 1/2 mile in that yields an absolutely gorgeous view. Another few openings along the trail give similar views.
It was so cold, some hikers’ hydration tubes were freezing up. When we did stop, it wasn’t for long. It got cold very quickly.
The picture is a stock photo of Mt. Cammerrer from the AT from spring 2002 (my camera died last night).
