Because
of the greater than normal precipitation this year, some foot log
crossings are washed out.
The foot log crossing at campsite 39 is currently washed out and
unusable. Contact the park
service for more information about current trail conditions.
This
is a very short hike to a beautiful spot along Pretty Hollow
Creek. This picturesque creek, filled with moss covered
rocks, is directly across the trail from the campsite. The hike
to 39 follows this lively creek that begins at pretty Hollow Gap
in the higher elevations.
The open area of Campsite 39 under the Hemlocks.
Under a
grove of Hemlocks, this shady campsite has plenty
of room for many tents. Privacy is possible because of the large
area that 39 covers. On a recent visit here bear activity signs
were posted around the perimeter of the campsite. While reading
one of the warning signs I noticed that there was a large pile of
bear scat strategically placed under it. It was almost as if the
bear read the sign and left his or her calling card !
