Getting back up to God’s country for a long weekend. I feel like I’ve probably hiked about every trail in the area. We are planning to do quite a bit this weekend.
It got me thinking, what is everyone’s favorite or top 2 or 3 hikes/trails/views in the area. GO APPS!!

Whichever one my wife makes me go on.

Elk Knob is a real good hike with some excellent views. Just past Meat Camp. Drive an hour toGreyson Highlands in Virginia. See the wild ponies. Great Views several good trails there.

Rough Ridge
Hunt fish Falls

Rough Ridge, especially at night when the moon is out.

Anything in Linville Gorge

Great hikes, in no particular order:

• Boone Fork Trail - starts/ends at Price Park. Five miles, somewhat strenous

• Price Lake Trail - Easy 2 mile loop, they also rent canoes/kayaks/SUP's there, a lot of fun!

• Rough Ridge - Incredible views

• Flat Rock - 30 min hike, amazing views

You can Google online for directions/mile markers, my wife found them on a site called "romantic Asheville" that has a description of hikes and directions.

Profile Trail, just because it has quite a variety throughout the trail. Not exactly an easy hike though, or one that has particularly excellent views, but I just enjoy it for what it is.

Beacon Heights is a great day/night hike.

Rough Ridge, hands down, with the best views. I’d build a little hut and live up there if I could....

Did this one in college. The views are the best around.

+1 for Rough Ridge and Elks knob. A little farther away is Hawksbill that I enjoy a lot. Really miss being able to get easy access to Hebron Colony falls or I would squeeze it in on a short trip (not fond of taking the trails from Price Park).
