Intermediate backpacking at Frozen Head

PACKING LIST:

Backpacking Packing List⁠

⁠

DEPART: 6:30AM on Dec 14

RETURN: Afternoon of Dec 15

COST: $32/Scouts, $16/Adults

⁠

WHO: Scouts who have been on at least 1 Troop outing.

ELECTRONICS REMINDER 📱🕹️

One of the great benefits of heading out on any of our trips is that we’re able to unplug from our digital world for a few days. Electronics are allowed while traveling to our destinations, but we have a longstanding rule that Scouts are not allowed to use electronics while on our trips (i.e. if brought they’ll be left in vehicles and not used during the trip).

ITINERARY

We’ll meet at and leave from the Publix on S Royal Oaks in Franklin (

Google Maps⁠

Apple Maps⁠

We’ll hike up to the Mart Fields Tubb Springs campsite, stopping at the lookout firetower along the way (if the weather is clear we’ll be able to see the Smoky’s from this tower). This is a strenuous hike with lots of elevation (see the map and elevation profiles below to get an idea of what it’s like). Before you signup for this intermediate trip, make sure you’re ready for a challenging (and rewarding) hike!

There is a maximum of 12 18 people on this trip. Registration will initially open for 8 Scouts and 2 adults, with adjustments from there.

We’re leaving a bit earlier than we typically do to give us a little bit more time to get to our campsite before sunset.

MEALS
