User input for Art Loeb Trail, Blue Ridge Mountains, Transylvania County, North Carolina:
Spoiler: Fred, there are no mountains in the south above timberline. There are mountains with no timber, however.
David Greene: One of my favs. the signs say most difficult, but that’s really only for the hard parts, the rest isn’t that bad ;)...But for real, bring sunscreen, and I would advise against camping on the balds...Wind is non-stop, and you are completely exposed to whatever random weather decides to show up, albeit rain, snow, or saturating mist.
Shay: Beautiful scenery. Well worth the climb. Highly recommended!
danny d: The best Pisgah has to offer, and its pretty damn good.
fred stellato: hiked last week. reminds me of Scottish highlands...above timberline. a little strenuous but well worth the sore leg muscles.
