Yep,I am going again first week in April. I spent two Christmas's in a row there with my Dad backpacking in High school. It wasnt ideal to me at that age, but I cherish the memory now! I was ther last April as well. I plan to only be on At one night at Silers Bald. My son and I will do side trails to avoid the busy tru hikers at the shelters!
Good Times!
