Meeting Time: 9:30 a.m.
Description: We will carpool to Deep Gap and follow the Appalachian Trail north to the summit of Standing Indian Mountain. Poles are helpful for the elevation gain on the first two miles to the summit. The AT is rocky and rooty. We will pass a shelter and privy. There are areas that stay wet on this section of trail. We are likely to see early wildflowers blooming. Beautiful views along the way and of course at the top.
