I will be going to the NOC area with a group to mountain bike (Tsali to be exact) in early October. I want to go up a day early by myself and do an over nighter. I hiked NOBO from the NOC last year, just like a 6 hour out and back and it was nice. Steep yes but nice. Was curious for other suggestions. Really anywhere within a one hour drive from the NOC with secure parking would work.
Thanks
