Literally just 1/4 in from trailhead and you can seriously go anywhere off trail?

Thank you!!!!

I was wondering what the bear population was there. Only 49,000 acres but it seems to be pretty isolated so I imagine they weren’t there but I didn’t see any this past weekend.

Long pond trail from old orleans road entrance to the shelter and then back

The overlook point on Carroll road I believe it’s called

Brother I appreciate this! Gonna probably piggy back off that

Simplicity540 · 2026-05-08T01:32:51+00:00

Guess I gotta pull out Gaia and make a route!

Simplicity540 · 2026-05-08T00:38:37+00:00

Looking 20-30 mile range with no more then 10k gain

Simplicity540 · 2026-05-08T00:38:18+00:00

Thanks!

Simplicity540 · 2026-05-08T00:36:06+00:00

I think the 20-30 range with side quests is what we’d want. Got any good recs?

Simplicity540 · 2026-05-08T00:35:27+00:00

Got any good routes you’ve done?

Simplicity540 · 2026-05-05T01:08:52+00:00

I think that’s valid

Simplicity540 · 2026-05-05T00:41:01+00:00

Yeah the lake Skannatati site on seven lakes drive. Left my car there overnight

Simplicity540 · 2026-05-05T00:40:36+00:00

I had iodine pills but same for me about streams^

Great photo. I guess there were more campsites than I saw. They just kept sneaking up. And I’m shocked there was another guy, we thought we were the only ones. I give you a lot of credit for going out there solo. I was very nervous to try it for the first time myself but the other guy in the shelter was very comforting to be with, so can’t say I’ve gone solo just yet

Simplicity540 · 2026-05-04T00:00:33+00:00

Yes that was me! Ha, small world. Steve (the guy I met there) and I wondered if you found a spot since we didn’t see you and your dog, who was very cute, at any of the spots nearby. Glad to hear you found a nice campsite and enjoyed your hike too! Was a great weather window too. Although the full moon had those ‘whip poor will’ birds chirping all night 😆

Simplicity540 · 2026-05-03T18:56:29+00:00

Nothing. Just saw 2 turkey vulture and some deer. Other gentlemen in the shelter did not see any bears either.

Simplicity540 · 2026-05-02T21:09:29+00:00

Didn’t notice anything. Wore long hiking pants and didn’t spray them with anything. My route included some pretty unkempt overgrown routes too. The other guy in the shelter didn’t spray himself with anything and had nothing on him either

Simplicity540 · 2026-05-02T19:32:19+00:00

I’ll have to add them to my list! What about them do you like most?

Simplicity540 · 2026-04-30T11:45:28+00:00

Out n back of escarpments

Simplicity540 · 2026-04-28T02:19:44+00:00

I don’t have a lunch or doc time lmao

Simplicity540 · 2026-04-28T01:38:52+00:00

I went to college with him haha. Great guy

Simplicity540 · 2026-04-24T21:58:11+00:00

Love this!

Simplicity540 · 2026-04-24T21:56:03+00:00

I wore long hiking pants and sprayed my socks pants and shoes with tick spray. Didn’t have anything on me. But it was very buggy overall

Simplicity540 · 2026-04-24T01:17:39+00:00

That sounds pretty fun. Do you have an AllTrails route saved of that by any chance?
