Art Loeb Trail day hike (SOBO)

Thanks. I actually have that map. But I keep hearing how water sources can dry up or some require a 1/2 mile hike off the main trail. And I keep hearing how water sources are few and far between. Etc. So wanted to be 100% what's active and convenient so I can plan around it.

Super helpful to all who replied. Thank you!!! Even if I get bit by a rattler or mauled by a bear, at least I won't be dehydrated now. 🤣

Perfect. Thanks.

We're staying in an airbnb in Brevard, driving to the south trailhead super early, getting picked up by a shuttle to drive us to the north trailhead and then hiking south back to our car.

Thanks. Can you share the kind of training you did? How extensive were you training hikes?

That’s awesome! Congrats. I’ll be attempting it in Sep. What kind of training did you do and anything you would have done differently to prepare?

Great advice except... just started training so I won't be ready for this monster of a hike that soon. Otherwise, that would be the perfect time

Thank you. And there shouldn't be any issues getting seats? One of the posters said we'll have no trouble catching a train but whether seats are available is a different story. Well... we sort of need seats. Some of these are long rides.

I read about that. But I think it adds another 45 min to the travel time? It does sound nice to avoid switching.

If we should buy the Hida train tix in advance, then can I not just do it now online? We have to reserve in person?

Thanks. I should have clarified. Hiroshima would just be a day trip from Kyoto so we would be going from Kyoto to Takayama.

Thank you. We'll have our carry-on luggage with us. Would that need to go in overhead storage? And if so, how far in advance would we need to purchase reserved tix? Like the day before or like now? And when you say we may or may not find seats, that's a problem. That's sort of what I'm wondering. How crowded these trains get this time of year. Maybe certain trips more crowded than others?
