Last weekend I hiked the entire Art Loeb Trail with several friends. This trail starts at the Daniel Boone Boy Scout Camp, climbs up to Cold Mountain, traverses the Shining Rock Wilderness, crosses the Blue Ridge Parkway, and eventually meanders down to the Davidson River Campground (Near Brevard). It was approximately 33.5 miles. Despite some rain and backpacks weighing in excess of 50 lbs each, we had a blast. Here are some of the highlights.

Very very cool.
Welcome home. Take a shower.
You sir are one sexy sweaty man.
Beautiful photos.
Was that the ark you were camping in?
That's the stuff!
Looks fun.
Nice photos -- I love that part of the country.
Looks like a great trip, George. Might I now recommend some Ban roll-on and a dab of aftershave.
...and I thought the hike to my bathroom was something...
That looked like a blast. Was it like "Man vs. Wild?" Were you guys making televisions out of vines and twigs and eating worms? That would be cool.
I agree with Jay. That's a beautiful part of the country.
I also agree with Chuck. Not many guys can pull off the sweaty hiker look.
Those pics are great. That looks like a ton of fun too.
Great photos of the Art Loeb! I just did the trail last week.. one of the best I've ever done.. You can see my photos of the trail in this album:
