Backpacking Fun in Alabama's Sipsey Wilderness: Hiking to the Big Tree

In November, 2016, I ventured into the woods to see Alabama's tallest tree. It's located in the Sipsey Wilderness, part of the Bankhead National Forest. My backpacking loop took me 21 miles over two days. I saw Alabama's "Big Tree" on the morning of the second day.

Thanks to Jaxx Drinkwater for giving me the idea to backpack in the Sipsey Wilderness, which is only two and a half hours from where I live in Nashville. The first part of Jaxx's video about his backpacking trip to the Sipsey Wilderness is here: http://bit.ly/2fZmwcH

The loop I followed is based on a trip of hiker Mark Oleg's that he described in a blog post. His full description of the loop is here: http://bit.ly/2eLtdxk
