Very relaxing outdoor escape from everything. Be ready for an adventure and also to get lost. There are trail markers, but other than that you're on your own for miles and miles.
We only walked to the creek crossing. Trail runs along the creek. Nice views, can camp along the trail.
The best trailhead to hit for a day hike or overnighters.
Dolly Sods has fantastic views and awesome hiking! Good for backpacking and camping.
lots of pristine nature, exceptional trails. many are not officially marked with anything.
The leaves are beautiful red, orange, brown, and yellow with some green pine right now. This is easily acseeable wilderness. Native trout, deer, bear and small animals abound. Bird life is charming, but the hummingbirds have already migrated.
