calculus1 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Just got back from an overnight camping trip on the western ridge of Linville Gorge just under 4000 ft. Our low temperature of 23 F was observed around 10:30 PM last night. By the time we left the warmth of the fire to try to catch some sleep in the tent around 12:30 AM, the temperature had risen to 26 F. The temperature was 34 F upon exiting the tent at 7:30 AM. Fortunately, the winds were calm the entire time. High clouds moved in in the early morning and continued to thicken throughout the day. For those familiar with the area, my friends and I hiked down the Cabin Trail (50 F at the trailhead around 10:30 AM), caught the Linville Gorge Trail headed south (temperature fluctuated from 35 F to 48 F depending on proximity to water and absence of sunlight in the sheltered areas), hiked up to Babel Tower (44 F at the top under cloudy skies), and finally exited back to the road via the Babel Tower Trail (42 F at trailhead around 2 PM). All trails in the Linville Gorge Wilderness Area are quite primitive and difficult, but the Cabin Trail is pretty insane. There are no switchbacks, and hikers literally slide down rock faces at times to get down into the gorge. This trail was constructed under the axiom that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, but the shortest is not necessarily the easiest. Entering the gorge on the Cabin Trail was no picnic, but exiting the gorge via that trail would be quite the challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great to get out there abd 'get it done' in the NC Mountains. Glad you were able to take advantage of it and have a great time. It is nice even if there is not some snow in the woods in winter.

Solak Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Starting to get some showers over this way. They've already cut my overnight estimates in half - now a tenth to a quarter... let's see what becomes of tomorrow's forecasted 1-2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 .91" overnight. They've cut today's totals in half as well ---- yesterday's call for 1-2" is now 1/2 - 3/4". Currently 50°, rain and some fog that comes and goes, depending on the intensity of the showers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently 50°, rain and some fog that comes and goes, depending on the intensity of the showers. Where do you see that? The HWO still shows 1-2. Based on the radar, that's a good bet...especially if you almost have a inch already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you were able to take advantage of it and have a great time. It is nice even if there is not some snow in the woods in winter. Thanks for sharing your trip! We saw some pretty cool ice sculptures from spray from the creeks and just general water drainage. Lots of icicles. It was pretty awesome! Stuff you wouldn't see on a summer hike.
