So
I was thinking of just doing some whitewater rafting
maybe at NOC?
and instead of a hotel maybe just do one night of camping somewhere not too far from a trailhead.
Any suggestions of a great place to camp?
something maybe with some bouldering to explore, or something more than just boring trail
or would you just do a campground someplace?
I'm even thinking of just doing a cabin someplace..... any ideas for that?
not necessarily the AT, in fact I'd prefer to stay off the AT.
thanks
