Exploring NC: Mountains-to-Sea Trail, Part 1

[guitarguy5]

I just did 1080 miles on the at.. I just found out the mountains to sea trail goes right near my house and now I want to hike that even though most of its on the road

[mrsparex]

I went by Stone Mtn (NC State Park) today and walked a little on the MST. It's snow covered and there were no tracks in the snow except for a deer tracks and some "paw" tracks. Beautiful area...cold...but beautiful!

[mrsparex]

There is a guy who has walked it a few times. I met him on the journey and picked up a mail drop for him. His first name is Scot Ward."Taba" is his trail name. He has written a guide book for the MST.

Great Video!

Well... there have only been 13 people who have thruhiked the trail (myself excluded of course). I think most (if not all) of them road-walked.

Hey Bugs, My name is Moe im hiking the FST this winter and want to hike this next. Where would i find a map or info

[BugsHikes]

The only guidebook is Allen DeHart's Hiking the Mountains-to-Sea Trail

@jliam75 There is a guy who has hiked it 2 or 3 times who wrote a book on the trail. His trail name is Taba.His name is Scott Ward. I did a mail drop for him once. He's a professional hiker.

Is the trail all conected or do you have to skip from trail to trail???

[BugsHikes]

Most of the mountain and coastal sections are continuous, but there are a lot of gaps in the Piedmont... it's part of the adventure - I rode a bicycle through that portion

[nocomplygumbo]

Oh! My buddy and I are gonna do that in the spring!

[BugsHikes]

The song list is at the end of part 2 of the video, but here is the song list for part 1:

Old Crow Medicine Show - Wagon Wheel

Dierks Bentley - Free and Easy

Alison Krauss & Union Station - Endless Highway

Loved the vids, both of them. I knew it would be good once Wagon Wheel came on. Liked the Tom Robbins quote as well. You don't want a stranger contextualizing your journey, we rarely get it right, but it looked like you had a great hike, met some people and saw some things. Thank you for being an ambassador for the MST and congrats!
