Vital Information
- The parking lot at the Jakes Creek Trailhead is very small and fills up quickly in the warmer months.
- Backcountry Campsite 20 is approximately 1.9 miles (3.1 km) from the Meigs Mountain Trailhead (2.3 miles from the nearest parking lot); Backcountry Campsite 19 is approximately 4.5 miles (7.2 km) from the trailhead.
- The Meigs Mountain Trail crosses nearly a dozen small mountain streams, the most substantial being Jakes Creek and Blanket Creek. While there is a footbridge at Jakes Creek, the other streams must be forded. These streams are normally minor trickles less than a foot deep at the trail crossing, but can quickly swell beyond their normal volume after heavy rain or snow.

Famous quotes containing the words vital and/or information:
“In view of this half-sight of science, we accept the sentence of Plato, that, “poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Computers are good at swift, accurate computation and at storing great masses of information. The brain, on the other hand, is not as efficient a number cruncher and its memory is often highly fallible; a basic inexactness is built into its design. The brain’s strong point is its flexibility. It is unsurpassed at making shrewd guesses and at grasping the total meaning of information presented to it.”
—Jeremy Campbell (b. 1931)
