SUMMARY:LRTC Hiking Series Quarter 2 - Hike 1
DESCRIPTION:Earth Day Hike Meigs Mountain/Curry Mountain Trails out of Elkmont\nFeatures: Quiet Forest Hike\, History\nDistance: 7.4 miles (thru-hike/requires shuttle)\nElevation Gain: 661 ft.\nDifficulty: Moderate\nLocation: Elkmont\nCautions: Many stream crossing\, but all are easy\nThe Meigs Mountain Trail connects Elkmont and Tremont. The side of Meigs Mountain has the distinction of being one of the first parts of the Smokies to be logged by a company. The J.L. English Company went up Blanket Creek before 1900 and removed 3\,300 board feet of cherry and basswood. The later lumber companies cut everything they could and then sold the land to settlers in the 1920s. Seventeen families lived along Jakes Creek and many more lived here on the gently sloping side of Meigs Mountain.\nAt mile 4.1\, the trail rises to a small gap and meets Curry Mountain Trail which goes 3.3 miles down to Little River Road at Metcalf Bottoms.\n*RSVP is required for this hike. Please RSVP to hike leader Dolphin Riggs at dolphin@littlerivertradingco.com.\nOnce registration is confirmed\, Dolphin will shoot you hike details on where and when to meet. \nEvent Location: Meigs Mountain/Curry Mountain Trails out of Elkmont
