With only a recommendation I ventured in expecting a walking hike but found that I was able to jog at least a third of it. There is a level crushed rock road from the Hardluck Trail Head all the way to the NC Arboretum with numerous branch trails best explored with map. This section of the Pisgah National Forrest is popular with the mountain bikers due to its close proximity to Asheville, NC. but there is plenty of width. Arrive early before automobile parking becomes saturated. |
