Campout in pocket

Many Bryan College students of years past have enjoyed a night under the stars out at Pocket wilderness, officially known as Snow Laural Pocket wilderness, in Dayton TN. If you have never have the pleasure of spending a night out at pocket, I strongly suggest it. Camping can be one the the simplest and cheapest weekend adventures, and essentially builds the base for a awesome time. Not only do you get to sleep out in the cool fresh air of fall, but you can then begin a climbing, bouldering, hiking, or just a fun day out in the creek.

Dear Current Bryan students, please make sure you check with your RA to sign out before heading out over night. trust me it is for your own safety. always make sure people know you are going to pocket because I have had to rescue several people myself from the depths of pocket, mine shafts, and high cliffs.

Some really awesome places to camp are about a mile hike in along the main path. when you head up towards Laural falls, you cross a 50 foot metal bridge. the path here splits, one path to snow and one to Laural. if you head towards snow, you will come upon a very nice camp site. but be warned, there is very little in the way of good firewood here. 

Keep exploring every chance you get! the adventures at pocket are endless! I look forward to sharing more!
