RE: California Mountain Adventures - Rattlesnake Peak
This looks like an incredible time. I've done some day hikes in the smokies, but never any overnight trips and after seeing this makes me want to. How heavy were your packs and any tips for keeping it light?
It was a blast! Our packs were pretty heavy but mostly because there is no water on the peak so we had to carry all our water for the whole trip. If you wanna keep your pack lighter camp by water. Other than that just try to only bring the necessities. You might think "this extra item doesn't weigh much I'll bring it" but then you say that for 3 or 4 other things and before you know it you've added an extra pound or two to the weight!
