Since I'm in Raleigh I've taken advantage of a couple of winter hikes into Shinning Rock Wilderness via Shinning Creek trail head off of 276. It's a great hike and worth several repeats. I've also gone in on Big East Fork just south of Shinning Creek. Another great hike.
It would seem like Middle Prong Wilderness would offer some great hiking but I've not found much about the area. I'm looking for suggestions of day and a half (got to drive up Sat. morn) to two and a half day hikes. Any suggestions/comments about the trails (it would appear that 104 Buckeye Gap and 142 Haywood Gap would be the trails of interest)?
