FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2019 SMOKIES RESTRICTS CAMPFIRES IN THE BACKCOUNTRY Great Smoky Mountains National Park officials announced a temporary ban on backcountry campfires effective immediately. Due to abnormally dry weather conditions, the potential for wildfires to occur in the backcountry has dramatically increased. The fire restriction will be in effect until further notice. “The park is experiencing abnormally dry and moderate drought conditions throughout the park,” said Superintendent Cassius Cash. “With little rain and hot, dry conditions predicted over the next week, it is imperative that we reduce the risk of human-causedwildfires.”
The fire restriction only applies to campers utilizing the park’s 100 backcountry sites and shelters. It does not affect campers at the park’s 9 frontcountry (developed) campgrounds or picnickers using fire grills at picnic areas. Fires at developed areas must be confined to designated fire rings and grills. All visitors are asked to take precautions to help reduce the risk of wildfires by extinguishing frontcountry fires by mixing water with embers in fire rings and grills. Use of backpacking stoves that utilize pre-packaged compressed gas canisters is still permitted at backcountry campsites. Backpackers should be aware that drought conditions also affect the availability of water at springs at backcountry campsites and shelters throughout the park. At some locations where there is a running spring, it can take more than five minutes to fill a quart-sized bottle. Many of the springs in the higher elevations are running significantly slower than normal at this time and the following backcountry campsites are currently known to be without water: 5, 16, 26, and Mollies Ridge Shelter. This list is expected to grow as the drought conditions continue. Backpackers are encouraged to carefully consider their itinerary and carry extra water for those sites that are not located along major water sources. For more information about regional drought conditions, please visit https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu . For more information about backcountry trip planning, please visit thepark website at
https://www.nps.gov/grsm/planyourvisit/backcountry-camping.htmor

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2019 BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY ANNOUNCES FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT FOR PLANNED BRIDGE PROJECTS IN ASHE AND ALLEGHANY COUNTIES The National Park Service has announced, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration and in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, that the signed Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Environmental Assessment (EA) prepared for two bridge improvement projects on the Blue Ridge Parkway is now available. The first project, known as Project 2A16, includes the rehabilitation of Big Pine Creek Bridge #3 and #6 and Brush Creek Bridge #1 in Ashe County, NC, with an emphasis on maintaining the historic character of the bridges to the maximum extent practicable. The second project, known as Project 2D17, involves the replacement of a larger historic bridge, Laurel Fork Bridge in Alleghany County, which would be designed with consideration given to the historic character of the Blue Ridge Parkway and the original bridge. The FONSI was signed on August 12, 2019 and is available at this link: https://go.nps.gov/1tjh0k . The Parkway has over 180 bridges in its asset inventory. Planning for these projects began in 2016, and work is expected to begin in 2020. The bridges involved in these projects have been deemed structurally deficient with deteriorating decks and substandard height bridge rails. The proposed projects will address structural deficiencies and improve safety by meeting current roadway design standards, including installation of crashworthy railings.Jeff

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2019 OVERMOUNTAIN SHELTER ON PISGAH NATIONAL FOREST CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE DUE TO STRUCTURAL DAMAGE In order to protect public safety, the Appalachian Ranger District has closed the Overmountain Shelter which is located in Avery County near the Appalachian Trail (A.T.) and Overmountain Victory Trail. U.S. Forest Service engineers have determined that the building has become structurally unsound and cannot safely accommodate people. Further evaluations will occur to identify viable management options for thesite.
"People from all over have loved camping inside this old barn," said District Ranger Richard Thornburgh, "but now there's a real risk of it collapsing. Unfortunately, the barn was not originally designed to accommodate human occupancy. Slope movement has caused a significant downhill lean in the structure and a support beam snapped under the large upper loft where people sleep. The wood posts are rotting away. Strong winds from storms and heavy snow loads in the winter place additional stress on the structure. The elements have just taken their toll to the extent that, despite efforts to maintain it, the Overmountain Shelter has reached the point where it's not safe to be inside the building." The Overmountain Shelter was originally a barn on a private farm that was acquired by the Forest Service in 1979 and became part of the Pisgah National Forest. The Tennessee Eastman Hiking and Canoeing Club (TEHCC) converted the barn into use as a trail shelter for the Appalachian Trail and provided basic maintenance for the structure. "TEHCC supports the closure in the interest of public safety," said Vic Hassler, TEHCC A.T. Committee Chair. The Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) added its support for the A.T. trail shelter closure. "We want all AT hikers to have a safe, enjoyable experience," said Morgan Sommerville, ATC Southern Regional Director. "With the Stan Murray Shelter just two miles to the south, there is another good shelter option nearby." The fields around the shelter are still open for tent camping and offer beautiful views of the Roaring Creek valley. "We're just telling hikers not to pitch their tent within 40 feet of the shelter in event that there is a structural failure," said Thornburgh.Jeff

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2019 LEND A HAND ON NATIONAL PUBLIC LANDS DAY September 28th is your chance to be a part of the nation's largest, single-day volunteer effort for public lands. Each year, hundreds of thousands of volunteers come together on the fourth Saturday in September to assist with various projects designed to restore and enhance public parks, forests, waterways and more. From trail maintenance to tree planting—volunteers of all ages and abilities roll up their sleeves and work side-by-side to care for public lands. The day also features a variety of hikes, bike rides, community festivals, paddling excursions, and other fun outdoor activities—all set on the backdrop of the country’s public lands and waterways. America’s public lands aren’t the only ones that benefits from National Public Lands Day. Nature offers one of the most reliable boosts to mental and physical well-being. Spending time in the outdoors has been found to improve short-term memory, concentration and creativity—while reducing the effects of stress and anxiety. Volunteering on NPLD is a great opportunity to spend time with family and friends and enjoy the many benefits that come from connecting withnature.
In celebration of the annual National Public Lands Day celebration, September 28, 2019 has been designed as a Free Entrance Day for most National Parks, Monuments, Recreation Areas and other participating federal sites. If you volunteer on this day, you will receive a fee-free day coupon to be used on a future date. CLICK HERE to check out the official National Public Lands Day event map, which makes it easy to find all of the events that will be available later this month.Jeff

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2019 THE BEST FALL HIKES IN THE SMOKIES Fall hiking season is rapidly approaching, and leaf peepers will soon be out in full force across the Great Smoky Mountains. The beauty of the Smokies is always spectacular, but never more so than during the autumn when the mountains are ablaze with the colorsof fall.
The timing of the fall color season depends upon many variables,making
it
virtually impossible to predict the exact date of "peak" colors inadvance.
One of the most important variables is elevation. At the higher elevations in the Smokies, fall color displays begin as early as mid-September when yellow birch, American beech, mountain maple, hobblebush, and pin cherry begin to show their autumn colors. If you’re looking for good fall foliage hikes during this time period, you’ll want to be at the highest elevations in the park; however, you’ll also want to avoid hiking in areas that are predominantlyspruce-fir forests.
SUGGESTED MID-LATE SEPTEMBER HIKES: Andrews Bald, Mt. LeConte
, the Jump-off
or Rocky Top
.
From early to mid-October, during most years, fall colors begin to reach their peak above elevations of 4,500 feet. Trees such as the American beech and yellow birch begin to turn bright yellow, while mountain ash, pin cherry and mountain maple show-off brilliant shadesof red.
In the lower elevations you may notice a few dogwoods and maples that are just beginning to turn. You may also see a few scattered sourwood and sumac turning to bright reds as well. SUGGESTED EARLY-MID OCTOBER HIKES: You’ll still want to hike in the higher elevations. In addition to the suggestions above, check outGregory Bald , Mt.
Cammerer , Spence Field, Albright Grove
or the Sugerland
Mountain Trail
starting
from Clingmans Dome Road. Autumn colors usually reach their peak at mid and lower elevations between mid-October and early November. This is usually the best time to be in the park as you'll see the spectacular displays of color from sugar maples, scarlet oak, sweetgum, red maple, and hickories. Your hiking choices will have greatly expanded during this time period as well. You can continue to hike at elevation to take in the fall colors from above, or you can walk among the autumn colored trees. SUGGESTED MID-LATE OCTOBER HIKES: If you wish to hike at elevation for spectacular fall views try exploring the Rich Mountain Loop, Alum Cave
, Hemphill Bald,
Shuckstack , Bullhead, Charlies Bunion
or Mt. Sterling
trails. If you
wish to hike among the trees, check out Baskins Creek Falls, Little River
, Old Settlers or
the Porters Creek Trail.
As the fall color season begins to wind down in EARLY NOVEMBER, you’ll want to hike at the lowest elevations in the park. Check out the Meigs Mountain Trail, Schoolhouse Gap
, Abrams Falls
, Oconaluftee River Trail, Indian Falls
, or the Deep Creek
Loop .
MONITORING FALL COLOR PROGRESS: * To get a general idea of when leaves are approaching peak colors you can follow the fall colors reporton the GSMA
website.
* To get a birds-eye view on changes in fall colors, you can periodically check out the four Smoky Mountain web cams.
