Hey all,
Next weekend I was planning to take two nights in the Pisgah Ranger District. Flat Laurel, Art Loeb, Ivestor gap area. My wife and I love to backpack and are bringing some newbies with us. I love this area for newbs; because of the low effort high reward it offers.
I'm reconsidering now; because 1. The Nantahala National Forest is on fire, and 2. The bear canister requirements.
Any recommendations for a good place to introduce a new couple backpacking? We'll be leaving from Atlanta. I would like to keep it within 4 hours drive time.
Thanks for the help.
