Join us as we embark on a two night backpacking trip on the Art Loeb Trail, a 30.1 mile journey through Pisgah National Forest and Shining Rock Wilderness, NC. This trail has a reputation for its pointless ups and downs, or PUDs as they're called. Yes, the trail presents some challenges. However, along the way we enjoy breathtaking vistas, lush forests and some unexpected surprises. We are also met with some adverse weather on the final day. Is it worth it? We invite you to watch and find out!
