This was my first hike in the Bankhead National Forest & my first overnight backpacking trip. I learned a lot on this trip! We parked at Randolph Trailhead and hiked in on 201, went down 209 a bit, camped on 204a, and hiked out on 202. We saw Ship Rock and the Needle's Eye. Overall it was a good trip. It was a little warm and hiking in the Sipsey is like hiking in a rain forest when you get down in the valleys. This would be a great hike in the fall.

Backpacking & Hiking
We love getting outside for a hike, and we've recently taken up camping too, so there's more hiking to come. Here are some of the trips we've taken.
