Reviews of Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock Wilderness
"Described as one of the last old grove trees on the eastern seaboard. Beautiful trees and a great walk in nature’s grandeur."
"If you want to bushwhack this is the wilderness for you. Very large trees and boulders, Amazing. Very challenging. Glad I went with more experienced friends. Hiked 32 miles and didn't run into anyone I didn't know. If hiking the ridge trails its possible to go all day without seeing fresh water."
"Great area for wilderness hiking. Trails are not as maintained as the Smokey's but that adds to the challenge."
"I’ve made two trips to this area. In spring 2018, we group ended up having to evacuate due to frostbite and hypothermia. We weren’t prepared for the 13+ inches of snow, and once our boots were wet from a river crossing, they not only stayed wet but froze solid. I made the same trip in spring of 2019, and the weather was perfect—sunny and warm with just enough breeze to make it ideal for hiking. I swam in the river. This was the exact same week in March. This aligns with what TeePee, the local mountain man, has observed over his many years and countless trips through JKSW. It’s cold every other year, though the extent to which we experienced it might have been atypical. You might encounter some cranberries! They’re groups of kids from the same school who do a trip there every March. Some of the trails need maintenance, and will be more of a scramble than a hike."
"Hiked up to the Hangover and camped at Stratton Bald twice. Trail is 1.85mi of logging road, then steady uphill and muddy ruts. For those not accustomed to steep climbs, this can be a relentless hike. Then you get to the Bald - lovely. Lots of poison ivy, fairly reliable spring. Last time, group of 6 was challenged to find enough sturdy high branches for hanging food. No trash, lots of secluded nooks for camping . Others reported hearing "large animal" running thru bushes and "growling". Didn't see any bear scat or other evidence around the camping on the bald. Views of sunrise/sunset obstructed bc of trees at bald but you can wander around to better views."
