The pace on this trip will be moderate. If you are a fast hiker looking for a challenging S5 trip, you may be disappointed by the pace.
You will need to carry plenty of water. I plan to drink at least a pint at the TH and to carry 3 liters. There is a small lake about 1.5 miles up the trail, but no reliable water above it.
Mt. Pugh TH at 8:00 am
