Snickers to Keys Gap (3 Sections) (13.50 Miles)

We hiked this section on August 20, 2006.

We broke this section into 3 different hikes.

Keys Gap to David Lesser Shelter
Nice and easy out-and-back hike from the Keys Gap parking lot.

Python and Zero at the David Lesser Shelter

Blackburn Trail Center to David Lesser Shelter

For some stupid reason, we decided to do this as an out-and-back hike! We parked the car at the Blackburn Trail center and hiked north. Yes, we are Dumb and Dumber!

Snickers Gap to Blackburn Trail Center
The trail north of Snickers Gap is the end of the roller coaster and it was really rocky. There were times when it was difficult for Zero to get up and over the rocks.
Welcome to West Virginia

The blue blazed trail down to Blackburn was really steep and wore us out at the end of the hike.
