North Carolina Bike Trip

5/9 - 5/12/22 (2 nights on the trail)

2022 Bag Nights: 3

Bikepacking with Will, Chris and Jesse

All cell phone photos

Started at Oscar Blues in Brevard

Almost ready

We stopped for a couple more at Upcountry on our way out of town

And then up FR 471 (~1300' up and over)

Next day, down to Davidson Rd to Headwaters Rd with a stop to check out Slick Rock Falls

Only seen Sweetshrub in Big South Fork

A glimpse of Looking Glass Rock

I don't see a lot of Flame Azaleas

Then up to the Pink Beds and across Yellow Gap Rd.

Took a short hike to check out the view from the Pilot Cove Loop. Well, it was supposed to be short, but we missed a turn and ended up hiking the whole loop. So we ended up hiking about 3ish miles vs 1 mile. 

The view was worth it

And then evidently I was too tired to take anymore photos for the rest of the trip. We camped that night next to the North Mills River and then rode Wash Creek Rd to Bent Creek Rd where we had left a car. And then to an AirBNB near Asheville for the night.
