Good Morning!
Some friends and I are going to do the Art Loeb Trail in North Carolina this October and I was hoping for some help on a couple of things.
#1 Are Bear Cans required on the Art Loeb Trail North of the BRP? If so, is the use of them policed? I have a hard time understanding why these are required in North Carolina but not in Yellowstone where the bears are bigger and meaner and there are more of them. I'm not saying that I wouldn't use use a bear can but I've hung my food in many different places with incident and I would like to get the whole story on it.
#2 Can anyone recommend a place to stay and a shuttle provider that is near the Art Loeb? The only one of these that I can find is Pura Vida Adventures and they charge $145 to drive 4 guys from Hendersonville to the trailhead. Seems a little steep to me.
