Big Schloss Overnight (Reading Days)

OVERVIEW

Hello all! Whats poppin! Since we have some time off for reading days, I think it would be nice to enjoy the fall foliage, and what better way to do so than spend the night outdoors!

The plan is to do an overnight at Schloss’ Gap, which is located around an hour and 45 minutes away from cville. The hike up to the peak is listed as 4.3 miles on alltrails, but I’ve done it before and it really seemed shorter than that. Anyways, we’ll leave around 3pm on Sunday, get to the campground, hike up and be able to see the sunset on the rocks at Schloss gap (which is an amaazing view by the way). After that, we’ll chill for the night, make a fire, cook and camp at one of the campgrounds near the summit. The morning after we can hike out, personally I think it would be nice to do a longer hike that Monday, but that can be discussed with the other trip members.

Driver needed: I can drive and have space for 3 other people, but if more people want to come an extra driver will be necessary

What you need:
– 2L of water, you know the deal
