The terrain is rough, water is scarce, and sometimes it’s hard to tell which way to go. Despite all of that, the Art Loeb is an incredible journey! After two thruhikes and several more section hikes, I've learned a lot about this trail. Today I'd like to share 5 pieces of advice for backpacking the Art Loeb. You'll find even more info and advice on the topic on my blog: https://seagrasstosassafras.com/post/...

Please check out the guide I put together from this trip! It helps me to keep doing what I do. Detailed mileage & elevation profiles, a list of planning resources, shuttle and logistics recommendations, and three possible itinerary options all in one neatly organized PDF. (While it isn’t a substitute for doing your own research and preparation, hopefully it will take the guess work out of planning your own trip.)
