31 Mile - 3 Day Thru-Hike! Art Loeb Trail

[@latitude918]

I’m always really happy to get out on the trail... but I’m also always happy to get back to the car and get a big ol’ cheeseburger. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

Atlas918 - Thanks for watching. And post hike meals are always the best. After this trip though it was hard for me to eat until the following afternoon. Ha

Fun times ahead.

1:15 "Michelle, I found where you threw your pole at me...fun times!" - That made me laugh. Subscribed. I make outdoor videos, too.

Looked like a tough one! Loved to hear you rocking the Avetts, even though it was a sad song. Those tough trips are the ones that you'll remember down the road. For better or worse. :)

[@BackpackingBen]

Mountain Wanderer - Thanks man, the Avetts are always great for some trail music. And I still talk about this trip every time my bud Riley and I go backpacking now. Ha

[@XCBen]

Congrats Ben. I just did this last weekend. South to North route. I'll have a video as well. Good job my dude

[@kalebdeese3192]

Love to solo the art loeb, usually head out to flower gap and camp, then chill out at shining rock for a bit. Good to clear the mind.

[@HydeMyJekyll]

Cool video! Thanks for sharing. I've been on the Art Loeb a few times- it's a great trail to get your feet wet into backpacking, convenient to towns and a good variety of terrain.

[@3875MIKEL]

on the second half of the trail we did the same. jamming out. didn't see a soul

[@johnnytwotarps2191]

Just watched this again for the first time since my Art Loeb hike last month, we almost had identical trips from camp sites, breaks and water refills! You did a really good job of capturing the pain of Art Loeb! The walk back to the car once you get down to the river feels never ending, we nicknamed it purgatory.

[@BackpackingBen]

Not gonna lie, I almost cried when I saw the end in site. Ha

[@MountainLust]

Looks pretty nice, great footage 👌

[@cabinman]

You conquered it! This one is on my list.

[@uptrail7169]
