I am hoping you can help me. My husband and I are avid backpackers and we are looking at the Big South Fork area for a April or May 2015 trip. We are interested in a ~70ish mile loop.We are willing to patch together lots of odd trails, to make a loop, and are ok with a small amount of backtracking/repeating. I'd greatly appreciate any and all suggestions. We have done Linville Gorge, but otherwise have not been to that area at all. We are wanting something that has challenging terrain, solitude, and wonderful scenery. Any must do trails or trails/areas to avoid? What is the inside been there/done that B scoop? Thanks for all your help!
