Hikes
The hike to Big Bald from Sam's Gap is not for the faint at heart. It is a strenuous 13 mile out and back hike that is well worth it! You will walk a trail through a mix of open meadows where you can spot wildflowers during the spring and summer as well as deciduous forest. After six miles you will come to a bald with 365 degree views.

Be sure to check out DuPont Recreational Forest located South of Asheville towards Brevard. DuPont is one of my favorite places to spend the day. With five mountain lakes, 6 waterfalls and a scenic covered bridge, DuPont State Forest is a beautiful place to spend a day outside. The highlights are 4 major waterfalls, 2 of which were featured in the Hunger Games movie. After a day in the forest stop by The Hub for a draft beer and food truck.
