Definitely go Matthew ... you aren't going to get awesome "views" per se (if you want that do Morrow Mtn. across the river), but if you want a secluded really nice woods workout and training, then absolutely ... plus Uwharrie is distributed camping, you literally can camp ANYWHERE you want (though the established sites are easy to find)
Great video! I hiked the trail in April 2022, but started at Walker's Creek with the newly connected section, and ended at 24/27. I think I stayed in the exact same campsite you did for Night 2. You'll have to go back and visit the northern section sometime to experience the two highest peaks on the trail; King Mountain and Little Long Mountain.
@@ExploreYourLand and I just subbed to you as well. I LOVE LOVE hiking and camping...my hubby likes it but not like me! I LOVE IT! I see that you are in the Uwharries often..I live here! I live about 10 minutes from the Uwharrie National Recreational Trail.
If you liked the intensity of Dennis Mountain :) ... try Lick Mountain just slightly to the north and I would say even MORE intense (you can do a nice day trip loop from Yates Place); plus if you go further into the summer (like Aug/Sept timeframe), water sources are VERY low and potentially non-existent. Two of my sons and I ended up overnight with literally almost ZERO water ... luckily it wasn't a horrible hike back out in the morning (like 3 miles), but still ... without water (and a hot evening) was no fun
I believe I have gone up Lick Mnt. before… is it on Dutchman’s Creek loop trail? Very scary to be without water! Glad you and your sons made it out ok 🙏🏼
Going to do this trail in a week or so, was it a constant up and down and what were the waterless stretches like? Just noticed you went over the hilly-ness of the trail at the end haha
Check out the PDF maps that I’ve included in the description, there are elevation changes marked. Starting from the north and working south the whole trail can be divided into thirds. The top third and the bottom third are very hilly. The middle section (where most of the water is) is fairly flat. It is a workout for sure!
I’ve not made it out to Uwharrie yet, now I want to get out there and do a hike like this. Nice one!
It’s a great hike and area!

@@ExploreYourLand Yep ... that's the one ... www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/north-carolina/lick-mountain-via-uwharrie-and-dutchmans-creek-loop
"Jumping off rock" 😆. We have a top hiking trail called "breakneck Ridge" here in NY.
I love it up there
Thank you for the video.
Great job.
Where did you get that map?
Book is called “Uwharrie Lakes Region Trail Guide” by Don Childrey
Nice video!
I appreciate it! 🙏🏼
If I needed to divide this hike into two nights and 3 days are the camping sites along to accommodate that?
Dispersed camping is allowed and in my opinion there are plenty of open spaces to do so

I could imagine if someone walked up on you while you where filming with your pants down what they would have thought lol
