Graveyard Ridge

[Chaco Taco]

The falls you just described is Skinny Dip Falls.

To my knowledge there is no official trail to Yellowstone Falls, though if you want to get there you will be on the MST before descending to the falls.

I doubt there would be any basis for a fine for hiking there. I'd like to hear an official word on that but it wouldn't stop me from going.

Cool regardless, its such a great spot to swim and camp, great hiking all a round

This is one of my mecca trips (one I do every year). Except I take the graveyard ridge trail to Cold mtn.

This is a truely amazing hike. I did it once about 2 years ago and again about a month ago. Graveyard fields is amazingly beautiful, but too many people during summer months...

Start at the beginning at Boy Scout Camp and you can do most of it. Get a Nat Geo map of Pisgah Ranger District. Has all of thetrails around here. Amazing hikes.

Make sure you add Tennet Mtn and Balsam Mtn to the route for some awsome views. They're over 6k each.

So on the Art Loab, where are some good spots to camp? Im really diggin this trail right now and cant wait to walk it!

[modiyooch]

It really made me appreciate the fact that this was a 20 min drive for me to get to this section of trail. i love it here!

hey chaco, I'm 1 hour from you. Can you give me road directions, please? This is what I like about NC. I have been here for 30 years and a very active hiker. There is still so much to see in my own state, and I can enjoy it year round.

[modiyooch]

ok, I'll answer my own question.
The trailhead is at milepost 418.8 on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

So does the trailhead at 420 have a marker ?

Not having a map in front of me , where on the Parkway would one park their car and is the trails end near the Blue Ridge Pkwy ?

Is there a shuttle service nearby ?

[modiyooch]

I doubt there is any shuttle service.

[Chaco Taco]

We are close by, bout 20 mins to the Art Loab. The thing is, there is a road past graveyard. You can hikie up to the Art Loab or get a ride to the Boy Scout camp, not sure of you can park there. We can try and work something out to get you shuttled. We are former Thru's in Asheville. My fiance and I have a weird schedule but do arrange shuttles for this area.

I think there is a paved service road that goes up to the camp and the terminus of Art Loab. Taba knows Im sure, check with him.

[humunuku]

yes there is a road that goes to the end of the art loeb (which is in the boyscout camp), but its not off the BLT.

[humunuku]

BRP, not BLT
