    Wandering off the Beaten Path: Less Traveled Long Distance Trails in the Appalachian Mountains “Are you looking for a new adventure? . Been itching to return to long-distance hiking... anxious for something a bit more challenging” (Jenkins). Try wandering off the beaten path in the Appalachian Mountains. The Appalachian Mountains in North America, range from the southern foothills in Alabama north into Labrador and Newfoundland. They are identifiable through 18 states and 5 Canadian provinces. All this territory and yet it may come as a surprise to many that the Appalachian National Scenic Trail (AT) is not the only long-distance trail available to hike in the system. As long-distance hiking becomes more and more popular trails like the AT see more hikers, to the point of overuse. People wishing to get away from it all may want to consider a less traveled path. Some of these less traveled trails interlink more than once with the AT and so can provide the bonus of a loop hike. Other trails connecting to the AT can offer an AT thru hiker the opportunity to continue hiking well beyond Katahdin. Shorter trails present the prospect of thru-hiking a trail without needing to quit one's job for 6 months. Hiking one of the shorter trails can also serve as a shakedown in preparation for a potential longer distance hike. This critical preparation not only helps hikers make great gear decisions but will help them to discover if they even would enjoy a 6 month hike. Most of the trails are more remote than the AT and offer less in the way of hiker amenities or hostels.

  • NATIONAL FOREST Land of the Noon Day Sun Welcome to the Nantahala National Forest
    NANTAHALA NATIONAL FOREST land of the noon day sun Welcome to the Nantahala National Forest. This forest lies in the mountains and valleys of southwestern North Carolina. Elevations in the Nantahala National Forest range from 5,800 feet at Lone Bald in Jackson County to 1,200 feet in Cherokee County along Hiwassee River below Appa- lachian Lake Dam. The Nantahala National Forest is divided into four districts: Cheoah, Tusquitee, Wayah, and Highlands. A district ranger manages each district. All district names come from the Chero- kee language, except the Highlands District. “Nantahala” is a Cherokee word meaning “land of the noon day sun,” a fitting name for the Nantahala Gorge, where the sun only reaches to the valley floor at midday. With over a half million acres, the Nantahala is the largest of the four national forests in North Carolina. Nantahala National Forest was established in 1920 under authority of the 1911 Weeks Act. This act provided authority to acquire lands for national forests to protect water- sheds, to provide timber, and to regulate the flow of navigable streams. In the Nantahala National Forest, visitors Photo by Bill Lea Hikers admire poplars at Nantahala’s Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest. enjoy a wide variety of recreational activi- ties, from off-highway vehicle riding to While permits are required for trail use in the Great Smoky camping.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SHORT TITLE SECTION l. This Act may be cited as the "National Trails System Act". STATEMENT OF POLICY SEC. 2. [16USC1241] (a) In order to provide for the ever-increasing outdoor recreation needs of an expanding population and in order to promote the preservation of, public access to, travel within, and enjoyment and appreciation of the open-air, outdoor areas and historic resources of the Nation, trails should be established (i) primarily, near the urban areas of the Nation, and (ii) secondarily, within scenic areas and along historic travel routes of the Nation which are often more remotely located. (b) The purpose of this Act is to provide the means for attaining these objectives by instituting a national system of recreation, scenic and historic trails, by designating the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail as the initial components of that system, and by prescribing the methods by which, and standards according to which, additional components may be added to the system. (c) The Congress recognizes the valuable contributions that volunteers and private, nonprofit trail groups have made to the development and maintenance of the Nation's trails.
