A few weeks ago I did the loop up to the A.T. at Standing Indian, and now I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on loops that they've done and enjoyed that are like the Standing Indian loop that are closer to Florida that NC. I've been up to Blood Mountain and Tray recently too, and wouldn't mind going there again, but ideally it'd be better somewhere else along the A.T., yet still closer to home so as to spend more time on the trail than on the road.
Does anyone have some suggestions.
