Ramsey’s Draft Hike with a Camping Option

OVERVIEW

The plan is to hike the perimeter of the Ramsey’s Draft wilderness area, mostly staying on the ridges, but with one potentially exciting river crossing (bring crocs/sandals!). It will be a 20-mile loop day-hike. We’ll leave from Echols around 3pm on Friday, drive to Ramsey’s Draft and camp close to the trailhead. We’ll start hiking early on Sat morning. If you would rather not camp, you can carpool separately on Sat morning and meet us at the trailhead (I’ll send meeting time/place directions). Bring your own breakfast and lunch, I’ll bring Jetboil to make hot water for breakfast and water filter for the hike so you only need to carry 1-1.5 liters of water.
There likely will be NO gear room this week, so if you are choosing camping option you MUST bring ALL your own camping gear (backpack/rain cover, sleeping bag/pad, flashlight/headlamp, cup/spoon/bowl, and a tent).
