Caught the Bug
We are going to make the drive out to Charlotte the last week of October through the first week of November (we will be in Charlotte visiting family Oct 29-30). We are probably going to try to hit Windrock outside of Knoxville, drive around the Smoky Mountains/Hurricane Creek, and some of Pisgah and/or Nantahala National Forest. It's possible we would go all the way to Uwharrie, but not sure if it's worth the extra drive (We're already close to 2k miles round trip). We will be camping most of the time and we like more secluded areas. Think primitive camping NOT RV camping! Usually we go backpacking, but seeing as my wife will be a few months pregnant, we are planning on taking it easy; day hikes and Jeep camping.
Anyone from these areas have suggestions? Places we should ride? Camp? Must-see stuff? Or even join us on a trail or two?
Here's a few more places we are considering:
Linville Gorge/ Linville Falls / Pisgah National Forest
Roan Mountain State Park
Frozen Head (central TN)
Foster Falls/ South Cumberland Park (south TN)
Savage Gulf (2 mile trail to camping)
Greeter Falls
Fiery Gizzard
Fall Creek Falls
Virgin Falls
Big South Fork
Land Between the lakes
Great Smokey Mountains National Park
Cades Cove (Smoky Mountains)
Big Creek Camp (NC Smoky Mts)
Other Hikes to waterfalls:
Cummins Falls (1-1.5 m hike each way but rugged)
Laurel Falls (Smoky Mts 2.5 Miles Round Trip)
