Are state parks and national parks getting a bit too crowded for your taste? Wilderness Areas offer many of the same natural attractions, but with a fraction of the visitors! Located just south of Waynesville, the Shining Rock Wilderness is the largest wilderness area in the state of North Carolina, encompassing over 18,000 acres at elevations ranging from 3,300 to over 6,000 feet. Part of the massive Pisgah National Forest, this pristine wilderness area is perfectly picturesque. From hiking trails such as the Art Loeb Trail and Cold Mountain Trail to waterfalls, stocked trout streams, and off-the-beaten-path campgrounds, this is truly a great place to get away from it all. And in our experience, it’s also a wonderful area for those who want to enjoy the beauty of nature without being to shoulder to shoulder with other people.

This is my favorite hike in the area, the east fork of the pigeon river is cold and crisp and the views are great. You will find that you can walk for hours and never run into anyone else.

Great hiking...love John's Rock and Shining Rock trails. Don't get too close to the edge, really.
