Day 1: we went up Whiteoak Canyon trail instead of Cedar Run. We were told by a ranger later that Cedar Run is probably the toughest trail in the park. Whiteoak Canyon was lots of fun, you get to hike right alongside water and see many waterfalls. We wished we had swimsuits - there were some great spots to swim in. At the top of whiteoak we took the whiteoak canyon fire road to hook up to Hawksbill and then summited Hawksbill. We then took the Salamander trail to the Rock Spring Hut off the AT.

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
