Asheville, NC - Where to go?!
So I'm overwhelmed by the amount of hiking and backpacking available near Asheville and I'm throwing in the towel to ask the experts (aka - hopefully you).
My wife and I are going to be in Asheville near the end of June and are wanting to explore the city but also spend a couple nights in the woods while we're there.
That being said, our plan is to spend at least two nights, maybe three, in the woods. We'll only have one vehicle so a loop is preferred but an out and back is fine if the hike is worth it. Also we would be open to a couple of different shorter loops for two different overnights if two nights on the same trail wouldn't work out as well. The obvious places seem like Pisgah and Dupont but as I mentioned, there seems like so much to do there that I don't know where to start or what trails to look at to make a feasible loop for a couple nights.
We're going to get an Airbnb for a night or two in the city after our backpacking adventure to shower and explore the city (mainly breweries so any recommendations for which ones to visit are also appreciated).
Asheville has been on our to do list for a while and as close as it is to us, is severely overdue so we are trying to make the most of it, though if it's as cool as it sounds, we will be back often.
Thanks in advance!
